Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve has announced plans to conduct prescribed fires now through April, weather conditions and moisture levels permitting.
For current conditions and trail closures, people can call the park, or visit the Alerts section on the website or park Facebook page.
Prescribed fire is one method used to promote a healthy prairie and maintain the cultural landscape of the preserve, park officials said in a statement. It is also used by preserve land managers to control woody vegetation and promote native plant and animal diversity.
