Wisconsin DNR begins winter prescribed burns

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced Feb. 7 that fire management crews are starting to perform prescribed burns on DNR properties throughout the state where local conditions can provide a safe and effective burn. DNR crews will be burning cattail marshes, wetlands, prairies and oak/pine barrens to clear the buildup of dead vegetation and to open waterways for waterfowl to feed and nest. By burning in winter, staff take advantage of wet conditions, which reduces the heat and intensity of cattail marsh and barren burns. Prescribed burns support healthy ecosystems for an abundance of plants and animals in Wisconsin.
