Subject: Prescribed burn planned today - Biocore prairie
Importance: High

Burns planned last Friday were postponed due to unfavorable conditions.

Given the current forecast, a prescribed burn is planned today for Biocore 
prairie<http://map.wisc.edu/s/1jy00a7p>. Fire crew personnel will be onsite 
early-afternoon to assess conditions and make a final determination on whether 
to proceed.

Depending on timing and weather conditions, burns may also be conducted in 
following units:

1)      Lot 60 Swale (prairie planting north of parking lot, east of Goodman 
Softball Complex)

2)      University Bay Dr. Swale (prairie planting from Picnic Point entrance 
west to Lake Mendota Dr.)

3)      Eagle Heights Woods mounds-west slope

Smoke will impact the Howard Temin Lakeshore path for periods during ignition 
of the Lot 60 and University Bay Drive swales.

For more information regarding the use of prescribed fire, see this UW 
Communications press 
release<https://lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu/2018/03/23/spring-is-prescribed-fire-season/>.
 Please be in touch if you have any questions.

Adam Gundlach
