You may see some smoke coming from Point Pelee National Park today.
Parks Canada will be conducting prescribed fires Wednesday near the Marsh Boardwalk, Sleepy Hallow and DeLaurier, in Sparrow Field and along the southern portion of the western shoreline.
The fires help to restore the park's rare savannah ecosystem by reducing the number of exotic plants, preventing the spread of invading shrubs and trees.
The park will remain open to visitors, but some areas will be closed for short periods of time to ensure safety.
Parks Canada says this is an important step in restoring healthy, resilient ecosystems that support birds, butterflies and species at risk.
The fires will only happen when environmental and weather conditions are suitable.
