The Bridger-Teton National Forest is planning to implement the South Fort prescribed burn in the coming weeks, which is a continuation of the Skyline Wildland Urban Interface Fuels Reduction Project on the Pinedale District. The Skyline Wildland Urban Interface Fuels Reduction Project’s overall objective is to remove hazardous fuels within and around the wildland urban interface, to minimize the intensity of any possible future wildfires in the area. Additional resource benefits include aspen enhancement/restoration, Douglas-fir restoration, old growth tree enhancement and recreational benefits. The South Fort prescribed burn has three separate burn units in the vicinity of Kelly Park and Sweeney Creek. Unit 1 and 2 are located on the south aspect of Fortification Mountain adjacent to White Pine Ski area. Unit 3 is adjacent to Sweeney Creek, Kelly Park and Skyline Drive.
