THE FULL RANGE WILL BE CLOSED FOR PINE BEETLE CONTROL:

  • Monday, February 4 – Friday, February 15

In short, the pine beetle survey that took place earlier in the month has identified numerous sites that need immediate attention. From Forestry:

“Crews have currently identified 3,241 treatment trees in 55 sites.”

During the closure, additional sites will need to be surveyed. Once completed, a full burn and/or peeling and chipping will be take place.

We realize that this is a long closure, but it’s one that must be done to mitigate potentially much larger problems.

There’s been great communication between all involved parties to find ways to optimize range closures. As February is historically one of the quietest months out of the year, it’s an opportunity to get it done now and avoid further closures during later months.

Normal access to all ranges is scheduled to resume by Saturday, February 16, 2019.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
