A controlled burn (known formally as a prescribed burn) was completed yesterday at the tallgrass prairie at Jack Darling Memorial Park. The following video offers a glimpse into the process as undertaken by trained professionals.

Tallgrass prairies need periodic fire to regenerate and get rid of invasive woody plants. As such, controlled burns are a way to maintain the health of this rare ecosystem.

A special thank you to residents for your patience and co-operation during this process and to Mississauga Fire & Emergency Services for being on site to ensure safety.

Another reason to love trees! the root systems of trees act like filters, removing pollutants and slowing down rainwater absorption into the soil. This helps to prevent erosion and reduces the risk of flooding.
