Texas A&M Forest Service is planning for prescribed burns to take place Brodbeck-Hooper General Land Office tracts during 2022. Four units identified as stands 3, 4, 9 and 10 will be burned for a total of 135.7 acres this year.
Stand 3 – 57 acres
Proposed burning dates: 11/1/2021 – 4/29/2022
Stand 4 – 36 acres
Proposed burning dates: 11/1/2021 – 4/29/2022
Stand 9 – 20.7 acres
Proposed burning dates: 10/15/21 – 4/15/2022
Stands 10 – 22 acres
Proposed burning dates: 11/1/2021 – 4/29/2022
These burns are designed to meet multiple land management objectives including the improvement of timber stands and to improve wildlife habitat.
Each prescribed burn unit has defined weather parameters and firing patterns to ensure the objectives for each unit have a high potential for success. Texas A&M Forest Service personnel will monitor all prescribed burns to evaluate achievement of goals and help guide future prescriptions.
Nearby residents can expect some lingering smoke effects overnight after the burns and may see some moderate to heavy smoke impacts for short periods during ignition operations. These effects will be mitigated by burning on days with good ventilation so that smoke will be dispersed away from communities.
More information will be published as weather conditions allow for safe burning operations.
