     Fluvanna County will soon begin the next phase of meadow management and restoration at Pleasant Grove Park by conducting a series of prescribed controlled burns. The burns are planned for late February and will take place in two wildlife meadows, as indicated by the yellow encircled areas in the image below.As part of the County’s long-term meadow maintenance plan, controlled burns will allow us to retain these areas as valuable, and rare, wildlife habitat, as well as arrest the natural progression of these meadows into forest.

Work began today, Friday, Jan 15, 2021, at Pleasant Grove Park in preparation for a planned Controlled Burn that will take place in February 2021. To prepare the area, fire lines are being created with bulldozers and will require the closure of the Birding Trail area, including the Birding Trail, as well as a meadow across from the playground.  More detailed information about the controlled burn project at  Pleasant Grove Park will be shared via FanMail, Facebook, County Websites, and the Fluvanna Review in the upcoming weeks. 

The Department of Wildlife Resources wants to alert customers of new legislation going into effect January 1, 2021.
