A cultural burn on 17 acres near Duluth’s Sky Harbor Airport in April or May 2026 will revive Anishinaabe fire practices to restore pine forests and reduce wildfire risk.
A prescribed cultural burn is set for April or May on 17 acres near Sky Harbor Airport in Duluth’s Minnesota Point, with a follow-up burn planned for next year, reviving an Anishinaabe tradition of using fire to manage forests and boost blueberry growth.
The effort, based on research linking historical fires to healthy red pine regeneration, aims to clear dense understory, reduce wildfire risk, and restore ecological balance in a fire-dependent pine forest.
Led by tribal leaders, universities, and conservation groups, the low to moderate intensity burns will target vegetation without igniting tree crowns, followed by a ceremonial start honoring the cultural significance of fire.
The project seeks to protect old-growth pines and promote biodiversity on the sandbar.
