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.

Cotuit Fire Department will be issuing a reverse 911 notice!

UPDATE: June 28,2018 

The prescribed burn at Crocker Neck yesterday was successful. Twenty-two acres were treated by reducing forest floor fuels for potential wildfire risk!

There were 5 staff from NE-FFM, 5 crew members from the Mass DCR fire district (free service), and 2 from Cotuit fire conducting the burn.

The costs will be reimbursed through the Mass Wildlife 2018 Habitat Management grant award to Barnstable Conservation.
