Controlled Burning: Mt. Ashland Ski and Colestin Roads

On Friday November 19th, Lomakatsi Restoration Project is managing a controlled burn on behalf of the Ashland Forest Resiliency. The pile burn is located off Mt. Ashland Ski and Colestin Roads. Smoke could be visible from parts of Interstate 5 and is not expected to impact town or roads and trails. If you smell smoke, visit Smokewise Ashland for information on health precautions. Check weather and smoke on the watershed camera. 

Prescribed Fire Forum
Watch the prescribed fire forum for an overview of what AFR has accomplished in the past decade using one of our most important tools, controlled burning.

Our Smokewise Ashland site has all the resources you need to stay healthy when smoke is in the air. Also, learn where AFR Partners will conduct burns in 2021-2022 on the controlled burn map.
