A prescribed fire is planned for today (May 25th) in the Eastern boundary of Riding Mountain National Park in the Wilson Creek Prescribed Fire unit.
If conditions remain favourable, another prescribed fire will take place tomorrow in the greater Wilson Creek area.
The plan is to create a fire guard in the Mount Agissiz area. The prescribed fire also aims to restore oak woodlands and help maintain habitat for species at risk like the Golden-Winged Warbler.
You may see some smoke in the area as a results of the fires. Parks Canada staff will try to ensure that smoke doesn't affect publicly used areas when possible.
There may also be closures for short periods of time.
