HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes Advocate, 1993-04-21, Page 23Third prescribed bum planned for Pinery
GRAND BEND - The Ministry
of Natural Resources is planning to
restore an additional 307 hectare
(758 acre) section of the Oak Sa-
vanna in Pinery Provincial Park
with a prescribed burn.
The prescribed burn, to take
place in late April or early May, is
designed to mimic theresld.ies of
natural fires which hiletellailliained
the health and diversity of the Oak
Savanna over the past 5000 years in
this area. This bum is the third
stage of -an initial five year program
that is necessary to perpetuate the
1214 ha. (3000 acres) of Oak Sa-
vanna found in the Pinery.
The ecology of Oak Savanna is
characterized by open, sunny con-
ditions with widely spaced trees.
Between the um, 'aloe ma -
posed of prairislsii
herbs give the Oak Savanna of Pin-
ery its unique character. Many
tive Owns in Pinery are compo-
nents of the prairie communities
usually found more than 600 kilom-
eters further west, and are consid-
ered rare or endangered in Ontario.
Most of these plants can only be re-
generated through burning.
Surveys completed since the first
prescribed burns in'1989 and 1990,
indicate that the desired results
were achieved. Not only did both
fires behave as predicted, but many
species- of fire tolerant plants such
as Fragrant Sumac, New Jersey

4 tmunities are essential to retard

Management Specialist at Pinery.
"Thus the prescribed burn will imi-
tate the natural fire cycle and en-
hance the growth of those specially
adapted savanna species, while re-
moving fire sensitive plants, such
as young red and white pine which
have been planted throughout the
..flak Savanna in Pinery".
Crabe added, "The 1993 pre-
scribed burn site is located in the
southwest section of the park. The
proposed site is bounded by paved
k roads on the northern and east -
em edge, a fire break along the
western edge and Highway «21 on
the southern edge.",
A helicopter will be used for aeri-

trolled by highly trained staff from
the ministry's Aviation and Fire
Management Program. Aerial igni-
tion has been chosen for reasons of
safety. No personnel will be re -
citified within the burn site. This
method of ignition is also cost ef-
fective since large areas of Oak Sa-
vanna with natural fire breaks can
be readily ignited.
Fire suppression crews will be on
site to contain the fire within the
designated area. The park will be
closed to both day visitors and I
campers on the day of the burn.
The traffic on highway «21 will bE
monitored by the Ontario Provin-
cial Police, Pinery Detachment, and
temporarily re-routed if necessary.
The entire prescribed burn should
be completed in less than three
hours and have no effect on the
