Weather and air quality conditions will determine when and whether the burns take place, likely between mid-October and late November.

On the roster are 90 acres in the Methow Wildlife Area, 4 miles south of Twisp, 100 acres in the Sinlahican Wildlife Area, 6 miles southwest of Tenasket, and another 40 acres south of Oroville.

The prescribed burns will reduce invasive vegetation, improve wildlife habitats, and help encourage native plants.

The 2025 to 2027 budget for this kind of work is $1.2 million, down from $6 million in the previous biennium.
