The Dolores Ranger District plans to conduct a prescribed burn on Tuesday, May 30, at Trimble Point.

Depending on weather conditions, hand and aerial lighting methods will be conducted for two days to reduce ground litter in an area that burned in June 2007.

The burn would take place on 1,515 acres of National Forest lands about 13 miles north of Dolores just south of the intersection of National Forest Roads 514 and 523.

Smoke is expected to settle into the McPhee Reservoir area overnight and may be visible from Dolores and Ground Hog Reservoir.
