What I see becomes a sort of visual illumination, like a match struck unexpectedly in the dark, a gift, lighting my path into wonder -Virginia Woolf

Park Rondeau Conservation Burns

What a great park full of oaks and a grass understory. It was the grass that was burned by the park’s burn team joined by provincial natural resources staff. These areas are surrounded by roads and signs, etc like a town.

Controled Prairie Burn outside Ailsa Craig

Spent the afternoon watching a crew burn fields to remove invasive weeds and shrubs in a historical prairie grass field. The residue adds potassium to the soil which improves growing conditions for prairie grass and flowers.
