Enders Reservoir SRA plans prescribed burn for March 9

Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area will temporarily close two sections of the park March 8-9 to conduct a prescribed burn.

Nebraska Game and Parks is planning a burn on 155 acres on the south side of Enders Lake starting at 9 a.m. Mountain Time on March 9.

No Name Bay, including the boat ramp, and Crappie Bay Campgrounds will be closed to the public starting March 8 for the duration of the burn and while monitoring for hot spots.

Prescribed burns benefit wildlife and parks spaces by improving habitat. Burns help set back undesirable plants that invade native woodlands and prairies, as well as other grass and wooded areas.

Enders is one of several Game and Parks wildlife management areas, state parks and state recreation areas that have prescribed fires planned.
