Redding, CA, April 30, 2024— The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is planning a prescribed burn of 555 acres for May 2, 2024. The prescribed burn will occur approximately 5 miles northeast of the community of McCloud and about a half mile from the Mt Shasta Forest subdivision. This will be the second broadcast burn entry in this project, the last broadcast burn having occurred in 2017 and 2018.
The objective for the prescribed (broadcast) burn is to create a patchy mosaic pattern to improve and protect forest health and vigor, recognizing the natural role of fire in the ecosystem.
We will have a public information officer on-site and I would be happy to share your contact information so they may stay in contact with you and share updates as needed.
If you would like May 2 updates or check-ins, please reply to this email with your preference for communication and I will make sure to pass your information onto our on-site information officer.
