More today from the recent controlled burn in Grasslands. The aim is to restore a healthy prairie ecosystem to a portion of the park that had become overrun with invasive, non-native plants. Fire was a key force in keeping the original prairie vital, but has been all but eliminated today. Prescribed, carefully managed burns such as this are an attempt to replicate natural events. Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
