PRESCRIBED ecological burns will be conducted at Pialligo on Thursday, and Kambah on Friday, and may produce smoke across the ACT.

The burns, subject to suitable weather and fuel moisture conditions, may produce some minor smoke and glowing embers may be seen.

The Pialligo Avenue burn is to decrease weeds and encourage native regrowth which will be managed through grazing.

The Kambah burn – corner of McTaggart Crescent and Desailly Crescent – is to reduce biomass to protect the native plants in the area.

Fire managers will conduct and oversee the burning operations, and a buffer zone will be created around the perimeter of each prescribed ecological burn.
