Prairie Fire!
Posted by Brian Leaf under Info, Events, Observing Nature
At dusk on Sat., March 14, a fire was lit to manage a 4 acre prairie near the limestone barn at the Pecatonica River Forest Preserve. It was the finale to the Severson Dells Nature Center’s spring awakening, sponsored by The Law Office of Jim Black and Associates. Severson Dells board member Chris Mann captured the blaze with his camera.

Dan Johnson of the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District was the fire starter.

Look at that!
The blaze pushes on.
Everything was orange. Then the fire died out.
