Controlled Burns Scheduled March 19th

The Village's Public Works Department will conduct controlled burns at several locations throughout the community to help maintain healthy native vegetation and improve natural areas. These carefully managed burns are part of routine environmental maintenance that supports plant health and habitat restoration. 

The burns are currently scheduled for March 19, weather permitting, with alternate dates between March 30 and April 6 depending on weather and site conditions. Residents will receive one-day advance notice before burns take place. 

Learn more about the locations and schedule on the Village website.
