Be advised of a local prescribed burn in our area

The U.S. Wildland Fire program will be attempting (dependent upon favorable weather conditions) a prescribed burn along Pleasant Plains Road tomorrow (April 7th) and Wednesday (April 8th) to improve wildlife habitat and lessen wildfire risk. The entirety of Pleasant Plains Road will be closed beginning tonight at 7PM. The entrance to the refuge at the intersection of Wood Duck Way and Lees Hill Road will reopen at 9:30AM tomorrow so that the Visitor Center can operate with normal hours. The rest of Pleasant Plains Road will remain closed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly on Thursday to ensure visitor and firefighter safety. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Prescribed burning removes invading trees and shrubs that would otherwise overtake the fields, helps control non-native plants, and promotes the growth of native warm-season grasses that provide important wildlife habitat. The operation will only take place under favorable weather conditions to keep the fire and smoke manageable.

We’ll be doing a training drill at a house on Dale and Spring Street on the evenings of February 11 and 12. You may see fire trucks and firefighters practicing in and around the vacant home. Nothing to worry about — it’s just training. Please take a little extra care when passing through the area.
