The Doyle nature preserve is a candidate for a prescribed ecological burn in late March or early April (depending on weather.)Such burns can be very effective in controlling invasive species.
A hot burn can be fatal to small stems of common buckthorn.
Trained staff and volunteers from Ann Arbor's Natural Area Preservation have conducted burns at the Doyle Presrve since 1996. The first woods burn was on March 7, 2000; another was held on April 4, 2001.
