CROCKER NECK CONSERVATION AREA
PRESCRIBED BURN SCHEDULED
* WEATHER PERMITTING*
Wednesday June 27, 2018
When: Scheduled from 9:00AM to 5:00PM
PLEASE KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM BURN AREA
WHERE CONTRACTORS ARE WORKING
Why: This type of controlled prescribed fire management promotes fresh growth of new plants, provides habitat and foraging opportunities for local wildlife, and also serves as wildfire prevention and refuge for people caught in between a wildfire event. Surrounding neighborhoods are protected by reducing the chance of wildfire in Crocker Neck by conducting these low burning controlled fires on a regular basis.
