Forest Service to Resume Prescribed Burns After 90-Day Pause

The Forest Service is resuming controlled burns after a 90-day national pause to review its processes and make improvements.   

The upcoming burn project is being called the North Trout Creek prescribed fire project and will involve burning some 917 acres between McGee Gulch and Shields Gulch. The area is 4 miles east of Buena Vista.   

Once the prescribed fire begins, smoke will be present for several days in the Upper Arkansas River Valley and Park County.
