1 p.m.
Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center, 1901 Lynch Rd.
Students in environment science classes at New Tech Institute and those in the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center’s public safety classes will join forces Monday for a controlled burn in the New Tech Natural Area on the southwest edge of the property at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center.
As part of the controlled burn, the school received permission from the EPA to burn four small areas within the natural area, each measuring 2 x 2 meters. The areas being burned contain experimental plots of Johnson grass. The burn is a project to see if burning will eliminate the Johnson grass from the area.
The EPA as well as the Evansville Fire Department also will be onsite for the burn.
