Prescribed burn planned

Trust me, I get the irony of posting the severe fire restrictions by the Unites States Forest Service for Los Padres National Forest yesterday , and then Cal Fire sending this prescribed burn notice and my publishing it today. At 6800 acres, this will be a big one, and the smoke will be visible in many areas.

Thanks for the details and your candor, Jonathan. I wish you all well with this sizeable burn and hope the weather is with you. Something intuitive tells me trusting fire, as in native times, as tool to manage these ecosystems is sound and wise.

THANKS FOR keeping this area manageable. u.s. forestry needs to more of the same training. THANKS, AGAIN
