The ACT Parks and Conservation Service wishes to advise that, subject to suitable weather and fuel moisture conditions, a series of prescribed and ecological burns will take place at seven locations across the ACT on both Thursday 28 March and Friday 29 March 2019.
A total area of 60 hectares will be burned over two days at Jarramlee Nature Reserve, Jerrabomberra Grasslands, Gungaderra Grasslands, Dunlop Grasslands, Mulanggari Grasslands, Kama Nature Reserve and Crace Grasslands.
Every effort is made to conduct burns in weather conditions that will minimise the impact of smoke but temporary smoke cover is possible and is likely to be visible across parts of Canberra.
Information and health advice for dealing with outdoor smoke can be found by visiting the ACT Health website.
