This late-spring prescribed fire focuses on controlling Barbed Goatgrass (Aegilops triuncialis), a non-native, invasive annual grass. Barbed Goatgrass is unpalatable to livestock and can injure wildlife by embedding sharp seeds into their mouths, eyes, and skin. Since first being identified in Southern Humboldt approximately four years ago, it has spread rapidly, displacing native grass species and threatening both ecological biodiversity and ranching livelihoods.![]()

Prescribed fire is a cost-effective and ecologically sound tool for reducing invasive species and maintaining the health of our region’s rare, native perennial grasslands.![]()

Smoke may be visible from Garberville and surrounding areas during burn operations. The project is fully permitted and carefully planned with air quality and public safety in mind. Fire crews will remain on site throughout the day to monitor and manage the burn.![]()
