The ACT Parks and Conservation Service wishes to advise that, subject to suitable weather and fuel moisture conditions, a prescribed burn will be conducted today at Kenny.
The 3.5 ha burn at Nadjung Mada Nature Reserve in Kenny is being conducted to improve habitat for the Striped Legless Lizard, reduce cover of exotic grasses and weeds, improve nutrient profile for the soil and reduce fire risk in the area.
See the location map of the burn site.
Experienced ACT Parks and Conservation fire managers will conduct and oversee the burning operation. Every effort is made to conduct burns in weather conditions that will minimise the impact of smoke, but temporary smoke cover is possible and may be visible across parts of Canberra.
ACT Parks and Conservation will be taking appropriate COVID-19 precautions, such as physical distancing and hygiene requirements.
As part of managing the prescribed burn to its conclusion, a buffer zone of up to 20 metres will be created around the complete perimeter of each prescribed burn.
