Buckthorn Removal Continues

Contractors are making good progress on Buckthorn removal in the east side of Braemar Park. Landbridge has been approved to burn buckthorn brush piles in accordance with their approved burn plan. This plan takes into account weather conditions such as temperature, wind speeds, and site specifics such as location. Precautions are in place such as fire breaks and fuel reduction to keep fires within burn pile areas. Fires are monitored by trained and authorized contractor staff and extinguished when contractor is not on site. Locations and elevations have been selected to mitigate smoke risks for neighbors and roadways.
