The Bureau of Land Management has announced plans to conduct slash pile prescribed burns on lands 10 miles north of Dutch John. The Iron Mountain Fuels Treatment project will take place this fall and winter with burning contingent upon fuel moisture and weather meeting optimal burn conditions. “During operations, smoke may be visible from relatively long distances, but should dissipate rapidly due to the time of year and expected weather,” shares the BLM’s announcement. “Hunters and recreationists are urged to be aware of project areas and prescribed fire operations…The total Iron Mountain project area consists of 66 acres of primary units (targeted for treatment) within the project boundary where active ignition will occur.” For more information, call 307-352-0282.
