Administrative Site Pile Burning Scheduled for November to December
The Los Padres National Forest has tentatively scheduled prescribed burns at various administrative sites on forest lands (Campgrounds, Trailheads, and Fire Stations) with a burn window of November through December. The goal of the burns is to reduce the risk of wildfire. Prescribed, or planned, fires typically burn less intensely than wildfires. Prescribed burns can help prevent the spread of wildfires and can reduce impacts to watersheds that can result in soil loss and sedimentation.
