The city parks department tried something different on Friday, a small controlled burn in Forest Park. The idea was to get rid of invasive species and enrich the soil (authorities said the wildflowers were particularly beautiful in the spring after a burn). Well, it was kind of a fizzle. (Ow, I know.) The ground was too wet and the air too humid. Guess they don't have a lot of experience with this around here.
There was a little bit of char when I went for a look yesterday. I particularly liked the tops of the cattails, some burned, some not.
