Forest Park is not on fire, today, but now is the season for prescribed burning.

The window for safely and productively conducting burns in our region runs from mid-October. to mid-April.ย ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

With support from theย @moconservation and in partnership with the @stlparks.recreation.forestry , our nonprofit conservancy is happy to report over 16 years of successful burns. ๐Ÿ’š

Weather and many circumstances permitting, Forest Park experts may be conducting prescribed burns in the Park now through April 2027. โš ๏ธ
