What

Professionally controlled prescribed burns planned for the consumption of invasive European Beachgrass on approximately 13 acres near Table Bluff outside of Loleta and approximately 249 acres of grass and brush near Lone Star Junction outside of Kneeland.

When

The prescribed burns will take place as conditions allow on Wednesday, October 19th in Loleta and Thursday, October 20th, 2022 in Kneeland.

Where

Ocean Ranch southwest of Table Bluff (four miles northwest of Loleta). Lone Star Junction (Kneeland Road cross of Showers Pass Road).

Why

These burns provide for the long-term study of invasive plant management and contribute to hazardous fuels reduction. The treatments will help to enhance the health of the native plant communities, aid in the control of non-native plant species, protect and enhance habitat for multiple animal species, and aid in the reduction of hazardous wildland fuels.

Who

California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), CAL FIRE, and private stakeholders. During these prescribed fire operations, residents may see an increase in fire suppression resource traffic, smoke will be visible, and traffic control may be in place. Please be cautious for your safety as well as those working on prescribed burns.
