Join the USDA Forest Service leaders on a site visit of an upcoming prescribed burn (broadcast burn) to be started next week by firefighters from the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, as early as April 15th. Numerous forest restoration projects have been completed in this area to prepare the area for prescribed fire, which is an important step in protecting communities, watersheds, and forests from high intensity and high severity wildfires. Come learn from local Forest Service fire managers about how they design a prescribed burn, what weather conditions are required for prescribed burning operations, what the objectives of project include, and what it means to live in a fire-adapted ecosystem.

More information about the planned burn can be found here.

*Be prepared for spring weather with layers and boots. And don’t forget water!*
