No, it's not a new, old show! It's the biannual burning of the prairies at UW-P!
Today they started the prescribed burns that can help preserve and protect the native wildlife and remove the undesirable plants and weeds.
Wind speed and direction, humidity and grass moisture are considered before a burn to ensure safety and minimize smoke hazards...and around here, that stuff is pretty unpredictable. But, the good news is that we're having some great weather, so I saw a small fraction of the project and it was quick, but dazzling!
