Wow sick burn dude 🔥 Park staff performed a controlled burn at Panola Mountain State Park on Friday. The section of grassland next to Alexander Lake that was burned is home to a number of insect pollinator species and is equally important to several bird and mammal species. Controlled burns are safe applications of a natural process which ensures ecosystem health and reduces wildfire risk.
