BLM to conduct prescribed fire in Sweetwater County
Rock Springs, Wyo
. – The Bureau of Land Management High Desert District is scheduled to conduct prescribed fires on public lands administered by the Rock Springs Field Office, now through February 2021, as part of a multi-year effort. The projects will take place from January 11 through February 2021, as conditions allow.
The Lousy George prescribed fire project is located approximately 10 miles south of Current Creek Ranch and approximately 65 miles south west of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The project consists of approximately 200 acres of slash piles that are targeted to be burned to reduce juniper where it is encroaching on sage grouse, mule deer, and elk habitat.
