Agencies throughout the region are doing what they can to get ahead of potential wildfires. Dinosaur National Monument announced this week their plans to conduct a prescribed burn on the Utah side of the monument. Fire crews will begin the burn the week of May 1st, weather permitting. “The prescription for this fire is to remove slash piles of woody debris that have been stored temporarily,” shares the announcement. “This project will reduce the potential for future extreme wildfire. Smoke will be visible from the Green River and Split Mountain campgrounds and other developed areas in or near the Utah portion of the monument.” For more information, call
