BLM plans prescribed burn in March for Cerro del Aire
Taos, N.M. – Beginning March 15, the Bureau of Land Management Taos Field Office plans to conduct a 1,000-acre prescribed burn at Cerro del Aire (or Wind Mountain), northeast of Tres Piedras, N.M. The planned burn operations are within the Río Grande del Norte National Monument.
This operation is weather-dependent and will take up to 30 days to complete. Smoke from the burn may be visible from surrounding communities, as well as those traveling on U.S. Highways 285 and 64. Motorists should use caution by reducing speed and watching for fire personnel and equipment.
