Stanislaus National Forest Planning 212 Acre Prescribed Burn Near Cow Creek Area
The Stanislaus National Forest's Summit Ranger District is planning to conduct a 212 acre prescribed burn near the Cow Creek area, located 1/2 mile north of the community of Cow Creek, about 4 miles north of Pinecrest, between Forest road 5N12 and State Hwy 108. Depending on weather and fuel moisture conditions, implementation is set for the time period between October 19-20, 2008. Once ignited, the prescribed burn is expected to continue for several days.....
Benefits of the prescribed burn include promoting forest health, reducing flammable vegetation, and protecting the public and firefighters. Smoke will be visible from Highway 108 north of Pinecrest, with drift smoke visible in canyons during the early morning and late evening hours.
