BLM High Desert District Plans Prescribed Burns

Shelley Gregory with the Bureau of Land Management High Desert District tells us they plan to conduct several prescribed fires this fall and early winter contingent upon fuel moisture and weather meeting optimal burn conditions.






The planned burns include Iron Mountain, 30 miles northwest of Cheyenne, Montgomery Pasture, 10 miles south of Rawlins and the Red Wash Wetlands about 20 miles north of Baggs.






Those fires also include Dirtyman Creek approximately 30 miles south of Rawlins along the west edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest and Airplane Park approximately 45 miles northeast of Rawlins. Hunters and recreationists are advised to avoid these areas during prescribed fire operations. For more information, call HDD Fuels Specialist Chris Otto at 307-328-4250.
