BUCHANAN — The town of Buchanan will do prescribed burns around the township over the next few weeks, depending on the wind and weather conditions.
You will see usually a few crew members walk the area prior (sometimes a day or two before) to check for any nests or wildlfe, according to the town.
Thankfully, this early in the season, crews won’t likely be running into nesting birds yet.
A prescribed burn is a fire intentionally set to burn grassy wildland areas — mostly around ponds — to prevent a wildfire from overgrowth.
It is also very useful for the environment since it helps control plant diseases, restore natural ecosystems and improves wildlife habitats.
