PRESCRIBED BURNS SCHEDULED AT NORTHEAST WMAS - Tom Keith

Lincoln, Neb -- The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will conduct prescribed burns on several northeast Nebraska wildlife management areas during March, April and May when weather conditions are favorable.

The Commissions primary goal of burning is to enhance grass stands and curtail the invasion of woody species.

Burning is used to stimulate the growth of grasses and to favor the growth of certain grass species over others. It promotes the growth of forbs, which in turn produce more insects - an important food source for upland game bird chicks. Overall, burning improves the quality of grassland habitat and production of certain wildlife species.

Prescribed burns will be conducted on the following areas:

Stanton County – Wood Duck WMA, Red Fox WMA

Dixon County -- Powder Creek WMA, Buckskin Hills WMA

Madison County -- Oak Valley WMA

Antelope County - Grove Lake WMA, Red Wing WMA

Platte County – Wilkinson WMA, George Syas WMA

Colfax County – Whitetail WMA.

Nance County – Prairie Wolf WMA, Loup Lands WMA.

Saline County – Divoky Acres WMA.

Seward County – Oak Glen WMA, Twin Lakes WMA.
