Park to conduct prescribed fires
MEDORA - The National Park
Service (NPS) plans to conduct pre-
scribed fires in the North and South
units of Theodore Roosevelt Na-
tional Park between May 8 and May
20.
The decision to implement fire
projects requires a favorable forecast
for specific weather conditions, the
NPS said.
Several fire units covering nearly
2,200 acres in the South Unit may be
burned this spring. A 400 acre burn
unit is located in the southeastern
corner of the park near the Painted
Canyon Overlook. Burn units in the
North Unit cover 1,800 acres in the
northwest corner and between the
Longhorn Flats pullout and the Little
Missouri River.
The primary objective of the
burns is to restore fire to areas of the
park that have historically been sub-
jected to periodic wildfire. Clay
buttes, moist drainages, and other
areas of bare ground characteristic of
the Badlands topography will not
burn. These natural firebreaks re-
duce the total burned area and help
firefighters contain fire to desired
areas, avoiding impacts to fire sensi-
tive vegetation and culturally impor-
tant sites, the NPS said. The
resulting mosaic of burned and un-
burned areas mimics naturally oc-
curring fires and is the desired
outcome, the NPS said.
"Careful prescribed fire applica-
tion combined with regulation of
bison, elk, and feral horse popula-
tions is an important vegetation and
habitat management tool. Natural
fire episodes are essential for native
species growth and ecosystem bal-
ance in the Little Missouri Bad,
lands," said Acting Superintendent
Wendy Ross. "Visitors can explore
the site of the 2014 Beef Corral
Wash prescribed fire, a 2,500 acre
area east of Wilad Canyon and north
of Jones Creek, to see a landscape
maintained by fire."
In past years, the park canceled
several planned prescribed fires be-
cause of extremely dry conditions. If
sufficient moisture and fuel condi=
tions return this spring to allow safe
burns, park managers will notify
local fire and law enforcement agen-
cies and the public. Other hind man-
agement agencies will assist
National Park Service staff with burn
operations. Sections of the park's
roads may be closed temporarily for
visitor safety.
Information will be available on
the park's website at www.nps.gov
and on social media via Twitter
@TRooseveltNPS and on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/Theodor-
eRooseveltNationalPark. A source of
fire infornaation specific to Theodore
Roosevelt National Park and the
Northern Great Plains can be found
