GLENORCHY CONSERVATION AREA 2016 PRESCRIBED BURN SITE Conservation Halton is planning a prescribed burn to take place sometime during the period of mid-March to early April at Glenorchy Conservation Area in Oakville. During the next few weeks, Conservation Halton staff will monitor Glenorchy Conservation Area. When conditions are suitable, 48 hours notice will be given to surrounding landowners. A prescribed burn is a deliberately set, carefully planned and controlled fire which consumes dried leaves, needles, and small twigs. The practice is a widely used and recognized scientific method of controlling out-competing, non-fire tolerant invasive species, allowing for growth and encouraged regeneration of the naturally occurring historical trees, grasslands and planted seedlings. Smoke from the burn is not expected to disturb surrounding neighbourhoods. It is possible, however, that some smoke may reach residential areas near the conservation area. Glenorchy Conservation Area is managed by Conservation Halton and is owned by the Province of Ontario (Infrastructure Ontario). For more information about the prescribed burn, please call Conservation Halton at 905.336.1158 email web@hrca.on.ca or visit conservationhalton.ca "It's why LaSalle Park is the perfect place for us to retire!"
