What does moving back to the city if I don’t like control burns have to do with control burns? . I never said I didn’t like it, I was concerned for the animals and the dangers that control burns could cause. And, that smoke can and does drift over to the “CITY.”

Be nice if some large land owners like resource management services or rayoneir would go back to controlled burns that way the poor loader operator wouldn’t have so much trash and bushes to deal with

Don’t worry, it is not going to cause Climate Change. The little bit of smoke and ash is harmless. It is the best way to manage forest.

I agree with Charlotte. It is windy and the weather has been dry . Not the ideal time to be doing a controlled burn.

So, when IS a good time to have a controlled burn?
I believe school is out this week.
Such a beautiful Spring Day, ain’t it?

Our forests are adapted to be burned, it’s natural, only we control when they burn rather than waiting on a lightning strike. Many plants and wildlife depend on the fires to keep the forest floor open. If you let the forests go decades without being burned you’ll end up with massive wildfires like you see in California.

A lot of us are out doing yard work and I don’t appreciate having to breathe this toxic plume of smoke, the ash was falling on my deck where my pets are and the smoke was blowing directly towards the Ashton Brosnahan School, where the children are out playing in the playground. I don’t think there parents would be too pleased to know this is what they’re breathing. Isn’t there a better, more environmentally friendly to accomplish this?

Why are they doing a control burn with the wind as high as it is? And why do they always do control burns at Spring time, when a lot of birds are building nest, or sitting on nest, and ground critters are having their babies? Can’t they do this during the Winter? Or Fall?
