Prescribed Burn at Herbert Hoover NHS
November 6, 2024 · Source: National Park Service
The staff at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site is planning a prescription burn in the reconstructed tallgrass prairie.

Per the National Park Service Fire Management Officer (FMO) who oversees the fire program for us, next week has been identified as the best time this fall to hold a prescribed burn.
