Manassas National Battlefield Park is preparing for a prescribed fire. We plan to manage the fire on Tuesday, March 9. This date may change depending upon weather conditions. The planned fire will be on about 75 acres near the Deep Cut (west of Featherbed Lane and south of General Trimbles Lane).

This will be the park’s fourth prescribed fire, and it follows successful burns in April 2018 and March and November 2019. The goals of this burn are to restore historic battlefield viewsheds, maintain wildlife habitat, and control woody and invasive species.
