Pizzo and Associates Ltd. have been contracted by the Village of Bridgeview to perform a controlled burn within the Bridgeview Court Natural Area, 76th & Harlem and at Courthouse (Bridgeview Place) Prairie and Detention, 76th Ave & 102^nd St .

Prescribed burning is an important management tool used by natural area managers throughout the United States. Non-native, less desirable plant species cannot tolerate fire while the native, more desirable plant species can tolerate fire. Employees with Pizzo & Associates are trained in burning wetlands, prairies, savannahs and woodlands. The burns are scheduled for one day each between now and April 18, 2022.  If you have any concerns or a health issue that requires personal notification, please contact Pizzo and Associates at 815-495-2300.
