EDEN PRAIRIE — Each prescribed burn is expected to last one to three hours, dependent upon weather conditions. City staff state that they monitor weather conditions closely and coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources’ Wildfire program to determine ideal conditions.
According to city officials, prescribed burns help “rejuvenate growth and ensure long-term survival of the native prairie by controlling invasive plants.” After burning, the ground will appear charred, but plant regrowth will still occur in the spring and produce a variety of new species.
