The Bureau of Land Management announced Monday that it plans to conduct prescribed fire operations in the Point Arena – Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument in the southern section of the Mendocino Coast.
In a press release, BLM officials explained that “pile-burn operations could start as soon as (Tuesday) and may continue periodically through the winter and spring. Prescribed fire operations will take place only when weather and fuel moistures allow for safe and successful burning.”
BLM officials also noted that “the Ukiah Field Office has been conducting hazardous tree felling and conifer abatement treatments in the unit since 2021,” and California Coastal National Monument Manager Leisyka Parrott is quoted in the release as describing the BLM as “committed to keeping public landscapes healthy and productive; pile burning is the next step in the progression of treatments that are designed to provide for public safety, reduce hazardous fuels for wildfire, and restore areas of coastal prairie from conifer encroachment.”
The BLM describes the Point Arena-Stornetta unit as “situated along the rugged Mendocino County coastline adjacent to the town of Point Arena (and offering) spectacular views of coastal bluffs, sea arches, the estuary of the Garcia River, and sandy beaches and dunes with eight miles of paths.”
More information is available from the BLM Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000.
