Today I was copied on an email from Park Ecologist, Peter VanLinn of Forest Park Forever alerting the community that a controlled burn is scheduled for tomorrow and Tuesday in Forest Park. (The photo was taken during a 2013 burn in Forest Park's Steinberg Meadow.)
"Forest Park Forever, DJM Ecological Services, the St. Louis Parks Recreation and Forestry Department, and the St. Louis Police Department are coordinating a controlled burn in areas throughout Forest Park starting tomorrow, Monday March 30th through Tuesday March 31st. Final decisions will be made on the ground tomorrow morning, but weather and wind patterns look good for both days."
