If you see smoke along the Niagara Parkway don't be concerned, it's that time of year the NPC begins a series of prescribed burns to help native grasses and plants regenerate.
The burns which also helps control the spread of invasive species begin today and will continue through to the end of May.
Some of the areas being targeted include, Legends of the Niagara Golf Course, the Legacy Prairie Garden on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens, and the Whirlpool Slope, across from the golf course parking lot.
