ANN ARBOR – If you see some smoke around the Ann Arbor Skatepark in Veterans Memorial Park Thursday, don’t be alarmed.
The city’s Parks & Recreation has hired a contractor to conduct a controlled burn of native plants in the area from noon to 3 p.m. Trained personnel will be managing the burn, which will be under control at all times.
Burns are conducted to restore the health of natural ecosystems and the Spring 2021 Controlled Ecological Burn season began on Feb. 19 and ends on May 29.
