What is being done to minimize fire danger at the park, both now and after it’s opened?
To date more than 940 acres within the park have been treated through the use of sawyer crews, mechanical means and prescribed fires. An additional 180 acres will be treated in 2009. Should it be determined through the planning process that fires are to be allowed in the park, these would be permitted only in designated grills and/or fire rings. No backcountry fires will be permitted.
