We are currently in the process of letting the prairie establish itself while monitoring for any perennial invasive species. This is also the time to mow the prairie, which seems counterintuitive, but is quite beneficial to a developing prairie. Most of the prairie plants are working on setting their extremely long root system right now, so mowing over them is just fine, and will cut down on annual weeds and provide more sunlight for emerging native plants.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, don\u2019t be surprised to see the prairie suddenly mowed or burnt down! These methods are extremely beneficial to reduce invasive plants and increase plant health and diversity. Native plants can take it and will thrive beautifully afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your patience with this process!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4007 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908.jpg 1790w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8908-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4006 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.townofburke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8913-2048x1537.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Burke Parks.
