Prescribed burn planned for English Valley
DEL NORTE, Colo - The San Luis Valley Interagency Fire Management Unit plans to conduct a prescribed burn in English Valley. The burn is expected to take place the week following Thanksgiving but specific timing of this burn will depend on fuels and weather conditions.
The 877 acre English Valley prescribed burn will take place on the Rio Grande National Forest’s Divide Ranger District approximately 5 miles north of Del Norte.
