Controlled Burn Set For Jenner Headlands Preserve

SONOMA COUNTY, CA – Cal Fire and The Wildlands Conservancy will conduct a controlled burn on Tuesday and possibly other days later in the week at the Jenner Headlands Preserve.

The primary goal of the prescribed burn is to reintroduce fire as a natural element of the ecosystem, according to Cal Fire. If there are any indications that the burn cannot be conducted in a safe manner, like high
winds or local fires, it will be cancelled.

The Sonoma Lake Napa Unit of Cal Fire will conduct the burn between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Smoke will be visible in the Duncan Mills and Cazadero areas and along Highway 116 between Cazadero Highway and Highway 1.

The burn will be conducted under tight restrictions and will comply with all requirements of the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District, Cal Fire said.
