Throughout the last decade prescribed burns have been used to naturally mitigate fire fuels throughout many public lands in Marin on TCSD lands. It has been done a couple times in the last 10 years in the Rhubarb Meadow. We have noticed that there has been a build up a significant amount of tree branches and fallen fuels that have become more evident since the goats have started grazing five or six years ago.
TCSD has coordinated with County Fire to do a prescribed burn in the Rhubarb Meadow just after the goats are through below Marin View the week of May 19. This will help to create defensible space between open space and Marin View and is important to fire safety in Marin View specifically. The Rhubarb Meadow is inaccessible for a chipper so a prescribed burn is necessary.
Please be aware that there will be some smoke from the fires. Please do not call 911 to report a fire.
We anticipate the burn days to be May 22nd and 23rd but we are coordinating according to the weather.
