EMPIRE, MI – Don’t be alarmed if you notice smoke and fire at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore this month.
The National Park Service plans to conduct a prescribed fire in up to four burn units as early as April 19.
A prescribed fire is a management tool used to maintain healthy ecosystems, replenish fire dependent ecosystems, reduce available fuels in the event of wildfire, and assist with the management of invasive species.
