NATURAL AREAS MANAGEMENT 

ONAPA helps other organizations with natural areas management, such as prescribed burning. This year we were able to assist Crawford County Park District, Killbuck Watershed Land Trust, and Gorman Nature Center with their prescribed burns.

DAUGHMER PRAIRIE SAVANNAH STATE NATURE PRESERVE BURN


​
​Tuesday, April 5, 2016
In Partnership with Crawford County Park

Daughmer Savannah is owned by the Division of Natural Areas & Preserves, but managed by Crawford County Park District.  ONAPA, including 3 ONAPA volunteers and 3 Park District staff, burned a unit approximately 10 acres in size on the north end of the preserve. This prescribed burn should invigorate the prairie grasses and forbs, as well as the wetland sedges, while controlling the invading woody species.

BRINKHAVEN OAK BARRENS BURN



​Friday, April 15, 2016
In Cooperation with the Killbuck Watershed Land Trust

ONAPA has been working with the Killbuck Watershed Land Trust for the past 2 years to assist with habitat management in the south barrens.  After removing and treating woody species, firebreaks were raked around the south barrens.  An excellent prescribed burn was conducted in the barrens and surrounding oak woods.  It should have great results for controlling woody species and helping the prairie species thrive in the restored opening.  ONAPA has a field trip to see this site in August, so we are excited to see it later this summer.

GORMAN NATURE CENTER BURN



​Saturday, April 16, 2016
In Cooperation with Gorman Nature Center Staff

ONAPA conducted a prescribed burn in 5 prairie units at Gorman Nature Center to control woody species and encourage the prairie species. Gorman Nature Center has been a great partner with ONAPA for several events and we were happy to help them with this habitat management.
