The Bonners Ferry Ranger District will host an open house at the Boundary County Extension Office on Thursday, Jan. 4, from 6-8 p.m. at 6447 Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry.
Camp Robin is a vegetation management project designed to address hazardous fuels, forest health and resilience, wildlife habitat, watershed health and recreation management concerns. Within the 42,000-acre project area, approximately 380 acres are proposed for prescribed burning and about 6,200 acres for commercial vegetation management.
