BLM Pinedale Field Office Plans Prescribed Burns For the Weekend

The BLM Pinedale Field office has two prescribed burns planned for this weekend. Serena Baker says the fires are planned for an area of about 660 acres in the Upper Billies and Camp Creek project areas, located about 20 miles northwest of Big Piney.






The Camp Creek treatment is a continuation of a prescribed burn that was initiated in June of last year. Both prescribed fires are part of the 9,000 acre Wyoming Front Aspen Restoration Project in Sublette and Lincoln counties.






It is anticipated that optimal burn conditions will be on Saturday, and, depending on weather, will last approximately one week.
