A timelapsed glimpse of a prescribed grassland burn at the Arcadia Dunes Nature Preserve! As noted by Angie of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, 'the burn will speed up the establishment of native warm season grasses and wildflowers, while reducing invasive species. This process benefits wildlife by providing proper habitat.'
