Prescribed Burn in Pioneers Park Scheduled for May 20th

The equestrian trail located on the sled hill will be closed from noon to 4 PM Wednesday. Access to the Pioneers Park Nature Center will remain open. Community members are advised to avoid the area during this project.

Prescribed burns are a tool to manage large areas of native plants and grasses, reduce wildfire risk, and enhance wildlife habitat. Parks staff monitor weather and air quality conditions to ensure safe burns.
