<br /> - <br /> .- <br /> - <br /> Focus News- Thus. April , 1, '996-3 - <br /> TCAAP prairie burns I <br /> set April 15 - May 10 <br /> Natural Resources management efforts - <br /> to restore native prairie wilhin Twin Cities <br /> Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) will be <br /> underway this spring. I <br /> Controlled burning, as was done last <br /> spring, will again be the management tool <br /> used to restore native grasses and wild- <br /> flowers. The use of fire in controlled burn- <br /> ing stimulates the native prairie plants to I <br /> become established. After the burn, the <br /> area quickly greens up resulting in a habi- <br /> tat of native grasses such as big bluestem, I <br /> Indian grass, and switch grass with many <br /> wildflowers to include yellow coneflower <br /> and black-eyed susan. The entire ecosys- <br /> tem is improved and provides a look at .. <br /> what the landscape originally was prior to <br /> settlement. <br /> Controll~d burning will occur for onc or <br /> two days between April 15 and May 10, I <br /> depending on weather. The MN Dl'."R will <br /> conduct the controlled burning in coordi- <br /> nation with TCAAP and local fire depan- <br /> ments. I <br /> The areas are all west of Marsden Lake, <br /> except for a small area near Sunfish Lake, <br /> and arc broken down into compartments <br /> which will be burned one at a time. Each I <br /> compartment is bordered by roads and fire <br /> breaks which will be patrolled until the <br /> bum is completed. <br /> Smoke may be visible from the central I <br /> portions of TCAAP for short periods of <br /> time. Each compartment will bum out in <br /> Jess than one hour. <br /> For further information, contact Doug I <br /> Rhead, Natural Resources specialist, at <br /> 633-2301, exl. 1666. <br /> I <br /> I <br /> .. <br /> I <br />
