Igniting Nature’s Revival: A Spark of Change for Our Carolina Bay!
St. Andrews University is committed to restoring native environments on campus. As part of this effort, a small, prescribed burn is planned for today at 11 a.m. to help restore part of a rare wetland habitat on campus called a Carolina Bay. Prescribed (controlled) burning is a natural process in our native ecosystems and will be conducted by experts who have taken all possible safety precautions. The burn itself will likely take less than an hour to complete and will be contained by fire lines created for this purpose.
By restoring this area, St. Andrews University hopes to make the campus a living laboratory for students to learn about the unique biology of our part of North Carolina.
