<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>As part of the ongoing Salyer/Hawkins Bar Community Protection Project,
80 acres of National Forest System lands in the <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Ziegler Point Road</st1:address></st1:Street> area above <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Trinity</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Village</st1:PlaceType>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Salyer</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Heights</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> will undergo an
“understory burn” that will be completed by early June.<br>
<br>
Consisting of woody debris, brush and small saplings, the burn is meant to
reduce the threat of wildfire and maintain the canopy of larger trees, a Forest
Service news release stated.<br>
<br>
According to the release, the burn will be conducted under precise
environmental conditions to ensure that objectives are met and the area will be
surrounded by control lines to prevent the fire from escaping. Wild land
firefighters will patrol the area before, during and after the burn and all
residual fires will be extinguished.<br>
<br>
Visible smoke will be seen during the ignition phase and for a short time
thereafter, but should not impact local residents.<br>
<br>
The project was identified through a collaborative process involving the
Trinity County Fire Safe Council, Trinity County Resource Conservation
District, Salyer Volunteer Department, Hawkins Bar Volunteer Department and the
Forest Service.<br>
<br>
It will be conducted in compliance with all North Coast Unified Air Quality
Management regulations.<br>
<br>

specialist, at (530) 629-2118.</span> </span></font><font face=Arial><span
