Please join park staff to discuss planning and provide input on alternatives and environmental impacts of fire management at Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

 
Description:
The NPS is updating its current Fire Management Plan to comply with policy and provide long-term direction for wildland-fire response, fire prevention, and use of prescribed fire. The proposed plan includes potential use of prescribed fire at two additional sites to improve habitat and manage burnable fuels. The two locations include the former Richfield Coliseum site in Richfield Township and the Terra Vista Natural Study Area in the Village of Valley View. Current use of prescribed fire at the "Borrow Pit" in Boston Township would be retained. The remainder of the park would remain a full-suppression area.
