South Beaver RX Burn a Success

Successful burning operations in the South Beaver area wrapped up Saturday night. In a news release from the U.S. Forest Service it was shared, “in total, 3,370 acres (just over 5.25 square miles) of mixed conifer trees, aspen trees, Gamble oak, pinyon trees, and juniper trees were treated in a mosaic checkerboard-like pattern.” They closed by stating “this will improve the health and vigor of vegetative species in the area, improve wildlife habitat, and reduce the risk of wildfires.”
