ACT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME IN THE SPRING. KAREN TAKAI WITH THE SANDIA RANGER DISTRICT TELLS US THIS IS A GOOD TIME OF THE YEAR TO CLEAN OUT BRUSH AND ANY FLAMMABLE MATERIAL FROM AROUND YOUR HOME. SHE SAYS TREES KILLED BY BARK BEETLES NEED TO BE CLEARED-OFF PROPERTIES.
AS YOU CLEAN UP YOUR PROPERTY, THE SANDIA RANGER DISTRICT IS MOVING AHEAD WITH IT'S OWN WORK BY CONDUCTING SEVERAL PRESCRIBED BURNS LATER THIS WEEK. SMOKE FROM THESE BURNS WILL BE VERY VISIBLE FROM I-40, AS WELL AS CEDAR CREST AND TIJERAS.
