To be effective and safe, managed burns need to be carefully planned and conducted under controlled conditions. Rotational grazing by native or domestic grazers can also be vital to the health of native prairies. A planned, properly managed grazing system with periods of rest can help increase the numbers of native grass species in a tall-grass prairie. Grazing can be imitated by mowing and haying, which if properly timed can encourage or discourage particular plant species. A combination of these activities will be used in managing Manitoba's Tall-grass Prairie Preserve.
Most lands acquired for the preserve are accessible year round for hiking and walking.
Vehicle access and some other activities may be limited. On-site signage will provide further detail. Additional tall-grass prairie in the area has been conserved by the Critical Wildlife Habitat Program through lease arrangements with private landowners. Visitors must have permission from the landowner before entering private lands. Please contact the Critical Wildlife Habitat Program for more information.
