If you smell smoke, check local advisories. See info about a prescribed burn in our area below.

🔥🔥🔥PRESCRIBED FIRE UPDATE 🔥🔥🔥
Due to favorable conditions firefighters with the Stanislaus National Forest's Sugar Pine Ranger District will begin ignitions tomorrow, June 4th in the experimental forest off of Crabtree Rd in the Sugar Pine Ranger District. The burn will continue throughout Saturday and will be monitored and patrolled through the weekend. Smoke may be visible from Highway 108.

With a planned 96 acres, the RX burn is part of the Sierra Nevada Adaptive Management Experiment (AMEX). AMEX is a multi-partner collaboration (Cal Fire, University of Nevada Reno, University of California Cooperative Extension, US Forest Service) testing different treatments that help forests resist mortality and recover from disturbances.

Established in 2018, the experiment contains nine strategically located sites across the Sierra Nevada to study forest responses to potential extreme mortality events such as drought and high severity wildfire. At the Stanislaus-Tuolumne Experimental Forest, reforestation options are being tested.
