BLM to Start Prescribed Burns Near Fort Stanton Beginning September 2nd

Roswell - The Bureau of Land Management will be conducting several prescribed burns on BLM-administered public lands southwest of Sierra Blanca Regional Airport beginning September 2nd, weather permitting. The project will continue through the fall and early winter until completed.

The burns will eliminate juniper slash piles that were created from previous thinning projects. Thinning followed by pile burning reduces the amount of vegetation available to wildfire and increases the health of the native woodlands.

As always, firefighter and public safety is paramount. Signs to alert the public of the burn operations will be posted and public access into the area is discouraged. Smoke may be visible for short durations from Ft Stanton, Capitan, Ruidoso and surrounding communities.

For more information, contact the BLM Roswell Field Office at (575) 627-0314.
