Dr. RATCHFORD THE TITANIC Park gearing up for burn season Elijiah Gibson, 6, dressed up for Dr. Suess day, for Dr. Suess’ birthday, at Bethware Elementary School on Friday. Kings Mountain National Military Park recently announced that the Park will begin conducting prescribed burns within the next week, weather permit- ting. Burns planned for this year include units along the northern boundary and a unit along the park's southwest bound- ary parallel to the adjoining Kings Mountain State Park. : Rangers advise that it is difficult to give an exact day for the burns, as weather conditions will dictate the time in which the burns will take place. A strict burning prescription will be fol- lowed to implement all burns within the park. To insure safety, visitors will be pro- hibited from the burn areas. Trails near any area being burned will be closed ‘until the area has been secured and made safe by the park. Visitors to the Park can expect to see a burned area until the native grasses and legumes start to regenerate after the burn.
