Media Advisory: Prescribed Burn at Cross Ranch State Park Scheduled (4/21)

PRESCRIBED BURN: If you're planning on visiting Cross Ranch State Park today (April 21), our partners at The Nature Conservancy are conducting a prescribed burn scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Two sections of the park have been identified for the burn, which is anticipated to end by 12 p.m. pending favorable weather conditions.

Prescribed burning is an important management practice for native plantings. This planned burn will reduce the wildfire risk throughout the area and promote the restoration of the native prairie by removing old growth. 

We ask that any visitors entering the park use caution by keeping a safe distance from our crews working in the area. Thank you!
