Officials of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore have postponed their plans to conduct a “prescribed burn” in the Port Oneida Rural Historic District.
The deliberately-set fires are used to maintain open fields in the area, reduce the accumulation of fuels for bigger, more destructive fires, and provide habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife.
