IRONWOOD / U.P. — The USDA Forest Service Upper Peninsula Fire and Aviation Management Unit is preparing for prescribed fire operations this Spring on the Hiawatha and Ottawa National Forests. This includes 7,042 acres in the East Zone and 3,248 acres in the West Zone of the Hiawatha National Forest, and 587 acres on the Ottawa National Forest.  These prescribed fires reduce risk to the public by removing hazardous vegetation to mitigate wildfires and prevent loss of property. They also help to re-establish fire’s positive role in local ecosystems, increase native plant regeneration, and improve wildlife habitat and forest health according to the Forest Service.
