Committee accepts $1,700 USFWS grant to cover half the cost of prescribed prairie burn at Hinesra Park
Summary
The committee approved acceptance of a $1,700 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to cover half the cost of a planned prescribed prairie burn at Hinesra Park; staff said the city will cover the remaining cost, the Conservation Corps will provide $2,000 in in-kind services, and Golden Sands RC&D will provide prairie seed.
A Green Bay committee voted to accept a $1,700 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to fund half the cost of a prescribed prairie burn at Hinesra Park.
The director described the site as a former yard-waste facility that was graded and seeded years ago; invasive species have moved in and a neighborhood group and conservation partners want to reestablish a formal prairie. The grant will fund half the burn cost, and the city will pay the remaining cash cost from an existing budget allocation.
