Fire this summer in Harriman State Park?

[woodstrider]

I was recently hiking in HSP and found a new burn area of several acres between Lk Wanoksink and Pime Meadow Lk. Any one know more about this event?

I noticed that along Wanoksink, the burn did not jump the trail and so there is a fringe of live plants between the trail and the lake...

Driving through the park on the way to a hike this weekend I saw a sign along the road that there was a "controlled burn area".
