The National Park Service plans to conduct prescribed fires in three burn units this fall at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The fire is a tool intended to restore habitat in forested ecosystems in the park. The burn unit in Leelanau County covers approximately 75 acres within the National Lakeshore’s Leelanau District, between Pyramid Point, Bohemian Road, and the northern area of M-22, which is in the same vicinity of this past spring’s successful burns. In Benzie County, the burn units cover approximately 930 acres in the Platte District, between Otter Creek and Bass Lake.
