A prescribed ecological burn is slated for 1 p.m. Sunday on the Lake Lansing North Protect, positioned at 1000 Wild Ginger Path in Meridian Township, in response to a press launch.
The burn will probably be carried out by skilled personnel, with help if wanted from the Meridian Township Hearth Division.

“As we speak, many non-native plant species have invaded our pure fire-adapted ecosystems, lowering the range of native vegetation and animals,” the discharge mentioned. “By bringing fireplace again to those websites we encourage the aggressive benefit that native species have developed with and restore the positioning to its former ecological well being.”
The burn will probably be carried out slowly and intentionally, the discharge mentioned, with cautious planning aimed to attenuate smoke and management its unfold. Township officers ask anybody with questions concerning the burn to contact Meridian Township Land Stewardship Coordinator, Emma Campbell at 517.853.4614 or ecampbell@meridian.mi.us.
