Pile Burning Planned for North Rim of Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon, Ariz. – The National Park Service is making plans to burn piles of woody debris on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park over the course of the next 30 days.
The debris piles are in various locations across the north rim, including near Highway 67 and the North Rim developed area. They consist of small tree branches, twigs, and needles removed during preparation of prescribed fire control lines. Pile burning is a necessary preparation for the
prescribed fires being planned for late fall and early spring.
The piles will be ignited as weather conditions allow and will be monitored by firefighters until they are completely out.
Park visitors may see or smell smoke in the vicinity of the piles. Sign will be posted advising visitors and motorists of possible smoke along impacted travel corridors. Coordination with the Department of
Environmental Quality is underway to ensure that smoke impacts are
minimized.
For more information on this debris burning project, please contact Aaron Fritzer, North Rim Fire Operations Supervisor, at 928-638-7949.

About the Public Lands Information Center
Public Lands Interpretive Association initiated the Public Lands Information Center project in response to demand for a single source of information about recreation and land use on all public lands in a state, regardless of managing agency. We realize that when you have a destination or an activity in mind, your concern is to find out where to go, when to go, what to do, and how much it will cost. But up until now, getting those answers often meant an endless goose chase of contacting government agencies and trying to pinpoint the correct agency, department, or office.
The Public Lands Information Center was developed to cut the red tape for you. We offer all you need to know about visitor facilities, surrounding areas, appropriate maps and guides, and the rules and regulations for each area. If you need more information than you get from the site descriptions, check our bookstore, our link pages, or email our staff. If you need to contact the managing agency for additional permits or licenses, we can put you in touch with the right person, and save you time and headaches.
