DNR to Conduct Prescribed Burns on DNR Properties

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021 -- 7:54 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced that fire management crews plan to conduct prescribed burns on DNR properties throughout the state through mid-June.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, the agency says the purpose of the burns is to take advantage of the state's optimal conditions during the spring.

Prescribed burning is done to preserve and restore fire-dependent ecosystems found within state-managed properties throughout Wisconsin.  DNR staff spend months comprehensively planning each prescribed burn and begin pre-season preparations and refresher training in January.

In 2021, all burns conducted on DNR land will follow additional COVID-19 operational protocols to further minimize health and safety risks to burn crews and the general public.
