Lake Naconiche Prescribed Fires 2022 (Prescribed Fire)

Texas A&M Forest Service is planning for prescribed burns to take place at Lake Naconiche during 2022. During the year, the Lake Naconiche Park and Lake Naconiche Spillway will be burned for a total of 66 acres. These burns are designed to meet multiple land management objectives including reducing the accumulation of hazardous fuels, improve forest health, control invasive species and to protect infrastructure of the dam by removal of woody vegetation and enhance the growth of grasses. Each prescribed burn 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.
