Serena Baker with the Bureau of Land Management High Desert District tells us they plan to conduct several prescribed fires this spring contingent upon fuel moisture and weather meeting optimal burn conditions. The planned burns include Iron Mountain which is nearly 800 acres of mountain mahogany, bitterbrush, and sagebrush within the 6,250 acre project area of public and deeded lands approximately 30 miles northwest of Cheyenne. Morgan Creek which is 350 acres of mixed mountain shrubs, conifers, and understory vegetation beneath ponderosa pine stand along the Seminoe-Alcova back-country byway south of Miracle Mile roughly 30 miles northeast of Rawlins.
It also includes the Red Wash Wetlands, about 370 acres of cattail vegetation in the Red Wash wetland complex 20 miles north of Baggs along Highway 789 and Prospect Mountain which is roughly 350 acres of mixed mountain shrubs and aspen stands in mule deer and elk transitional ranges along the edge of the Medicine Bow National Forest north of the Wyoming/Colorado state line southeast of Riverside.
Partners in the fuel treatments include the private landowners, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation, Little Snake River Conservation District, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the U.S. Forest Service. Hunters and recreationists are advised to avoid these areas during prescribed fire operations. For more information, call 307-328-4250.
