PRESCRIBED BURN OPERATIONS

DEC conducts a program of prescribed burning operations during spring and autumn each year. Prescribed burning operations are undertaken for a variety of reasons including property protection, fuel reduction and biodiversity management.

These burns are carefully planned, however they may cause some disruption to users. Where prescribed burning operations impact on the Trail temporary diversions will be put in place, including temporary campsites where necessary. Prescribed burning operations are dependant on appropriate weather conditions and as such, dates for operations are not available in advance.

The following sections of Trail may be affected by prescribed burning operations during spring/summer 2009-10. For your safety, follow onsite signage and directions from DEC staff.
