Prescribed burn at Glenorchy Conservation Area
Conservation Halton will conduct a prescribed burn at Glenorchy Conservation Area in Oakville as part of the long-term management plan for the natural area.  The prescribed burn is expected to occur between April 13 and May 2. The exact date will not be decided until about 48-24 hours in advance, based on the humidity, temperature and wind direction required for a safe and effective burn. A prescribed burn is a carefully planned low-severity fire, deliberately set and highly controlled, removing invasive plants and providing the disturbance that many grassland plants require for germination and growth.
