RX Pile Burn Planned in Baldy Pine Area Gunnison Field Office December 8, 2022

Southwest District BLM Prescribed Fire
Publication Type: Announcement 05/18/2023

#BeAdvised BLM Southwest District loves the recent snow that gives us an opportunity to prescribe burn piles this week on the Gunnison Field Office BLM-administered lands in the Baldy Pine area. 

The project area is located approx. 14 miles west of Powderhorn, CO and 4 miles west of Highway 149. If conditions are favorable, piles of beetle kill lodgepole pine slash from a timber sale will be burned on December 8. Smoke maybe visible from Hwy 149 and Powderhorn area.
