Grass-burning projects scheduled this week

The Division of Fire Fuels Program will be conducting a few prescribed grass burns for the CSKT Natural Resources Department the week of April 10-14, weather permitting.

The KHN5B Rx burn is located one mile south of Charlo on Herak Lane and encompasses about 80 acres. The second project, ASP1 and 2, is located on East Post Creek Rd. near Millie’s Woods, and covers a combined area of 122 acres.

These burns aim to reduce biomass in preparation for weed management on the pastureland, which is dominated by non-native grasses and noxious weeds. According to CSKT Division of Fire, the burns will also help reduce hazardous fuels by around 50%.
