The Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire and Aviation Management Unit (UCR) is preparing to conduct prescribed burns on White River National Forest lands in Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin counties, weather and conditions permitting.For more information visit: https://bit.ly/2Vcqj7r
Land managers conduct prescribed fires to improve habitat for big game and other native wildlife, and reduce fuels to lesson potential growth and severity of future wildfires. During a prescribed burn, low-intensity fire consumes overgrown fuels while promoting suckering and sprouting of nutrient-rich vegetation. This year’s potential prescribed burn locations include:
• Cattle Creek Prescribed Burn, Aspen-Sopris Ranger District (Eagle County): seven miles north of Basalt, northeast of Hwy 82, up to 1,500 acres.
• Grizzly Creek Prescribed Burn, Eagle Holy Cross/Rifle Ranger Districts (Garfield County): 1 mile northwest of the Grizzly Creek trailhead/Interstate-70 in Glenwood Canyon, 521 acres.
