McCullough Creek Prescribed Fire Notice
Please be advised, an authorized burn contractor is scheduled to conduct a prescribed burn in the southeast section of the McCullough Creek Conservation Area (or Regional Offsite Mitigation Area-ROMA) as early as Thursday, February 13, 2025. As weather conditions allow, the burn window may be over the next 10-14 days. The McCullough Creek Conservation Area is located at 2864 CR 13 South in Elkton near the St. Johns River.
This prescribed burn is part of the management plan for ecosystem restoration and wildfire hazard reduction on the property. Please be cautious of potential smoke in the area.
Fire has played an important role in Florida’s natural environment for thousands of years and many species of wildlife and vegetation still rely on fire to survive and flourish. Not only that, but regular use of prescribed fire helps remove hazardous natural fuels that might lead to wildfires. If you see prescribed fire or smoke in your neighborhood, please remember that it helps restore health to fire-adapted natural areas. Prescribed burning is one of the many things property managers do to assist in the restoration and maintenance of conservation lands for current and future generations.
