A prescribed burn is set for Pepperwood’s nature preserve tomorrow starting at 9 AM. The Pepperwood Preserve Foundation and the Sonoma County Fire district will treat up to 37-acres of grass and light timber litter. This is to produce healthy forests and reduce wildfire risk on what is a strategic fire control ridge Franz Valley and the Mark West area. Firefighters will patrol the area Saturday evening and the following couple of days following the burn.
