U-M Controlled Burn
The NCRC controlled burns have been scheduled to take place Sunday, April 10th, weather permitting.
The upcoming controlled burn will remove the dead thatch and helps to stimulate new growth. There will be several follow-up treatments on each successive wave of weeds that appear on site.
See maps for location details.
