(LEWISTOWN, Mont.) - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to burn some piles of timber slash in Meagher County this winter as weather conditions allow.
The project area is located on BLM administered lands, 15 miles northeast of White Sulphur Springs, Mont.
The debris was generated from timber harvest operations that were conducted to promote forest health and minimize impacts from high intensity, high severity wildfires.
Local authorities will be contacted by the BLM prior to any burning taking place. Smoke will likely be visible at times and will be monitored to minimize impacts to sensitive areas.
For additional information call Michael Solheim at the Lewistown Field Office at 406-538-1976.
