The Nature Conservancy has asked us to announce that it will conduct a controlled burn in the Ossipee Pine Barrens Preserve on Monday, October 3. The burn will be in the Zito Unit, which consists of 37 acres adjacent to Windsock Village.
Additional information may be found here.
For questions, contact Michael Crawford, Northern NH Land Steward, at mcrawford@tnc.org, or call (814) 330-8584 (mobile) or (603) 356-8833 (office).
I have witnessed several burns in the Pine Barrens area of Freedom over the years and while it causes some concerns, it is instrumental in preventing major fires in our region.
