Santa Fe National Forest crews are planning to conduct a prescribed burn in the Santa Fe Watershed as early as Friday, April 7, if conditions, including fuel moisture levels, air quality and weather forecasts, are favorable.
The 850-acre treatment area, approximately 4 miles east of the City of Santa Fe, could continue for up to three days – depending on fuel conditions, and forecast weather and smoke dispersion conditions. Due to the Watershed’s proximity to the city, smoke may affect populated areas.
