SHSU University Camp Prescribed Fire ’22 (Prescribed Fire)

Texas A&M Forest Service is planning for a prescribed burn to take place on Sam Houston State University – University Camp land during 2022. Four burn units identified as units 1 (48 acres), 2 (30 acres), 3 (21 acres) and 4 (19 acres) will be burned for a total of 118 acres. These burns are designed to meet multiple land management objectives including reducing the accumulation of hazardous fuels, reduce competition for managed crop trees, improve forest health, improve access and visibility for forest management activities and improve wildfire 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.
