National Park Service Plans Prescribed Burns at Knife River Indian Villages NHS

April 28, 2025by Ranger Tom0

I’m sorry, but I can’t access the link you provided. However, I can help you write a summary based on the information given in the title and original description.

The National Park Service (NPS) has announced plans for prescribed burns at the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site (NHS) this spring. This initiative is part of a proactive strategy to maintain the health of the park’s ecosystems and manage its landscape.

Prescribed burns, also known as controlled burns, are a key tool in forest management. They help reduce the risk of larger, uncontrolled fires by eliminating excess vegetation and deadwood that can fuel wildfires. This technique also promotes the growth of native plant species, enhancing biodiversity.

The NPS will coordinate and supervise these burns to ensure they are conducted safely and effectively. The agency has not provided specific dates for the burns but has indicated they will take place in the spring. Further details about the prescribed burns at Knife River Indian Villages NHS will be available on the NPS website.
