The 100-hectare airstrip sub-untit of the Compound Meadows prescribed fire on May 9, 2022. The burn was adjacent to the Town of Banff and the
TransCanada highway and was conducted in collaboration with the Town of Banff. Objectives for the burn were wildfire risk reduction for the town,
overwinter habitat for elk and deer, and to stimulate the growth of deciduous trees and valley bottom grasslands. Photo by Jane Park.
