Prescribed Burn Plans on Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge

Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) announces plans to conduct up to six (6) prescribed burns on the Refuge during the 2024 season. The goal this year is to burn up to 130 acres of grasslands and 30 acres of cattail marsh. The result will be enhanced grassland nesting cover and improved marsh habitat for a variety of migratory birds and other wildlife. Grassland fields will be burned in the spring or summer (April – August) and marshes will be burned in the summer (June-August). Each burn should take approximately two to six hours to complete.
