Fairchild State Forest Pres. Fires 2022 (Prescribed Fire)

Texas A&M Forest Service is planning for several prescribed burns to take place on I.D. Fairchild State Forest land during 2022. During the year, burn units identified as stands 3b, 4 and 22b will be burned for a total of 67.5 acres. These burns are designed to meet multiple land management objectives including reducing the accumulation of hazardous fuels, 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.
