A prescribed burn is planned at Fort Stevenson State Park today, April 30, to reduce the wildfire risk throughout the area and promote the restoration of the native prairie by removing old growth. If the weather remains favorable, the burn is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

We ask that any guests visiting the park today use caution by keeping a safe distance from fire crews working in the area. Thank you to our partners with the Garrison ND Fire Department for their assistance in executing and managing the prescribed burn.
