Controlled burning can be daunting, especially with busy roads and walkers around.
So why not come along on Monday October 20 at 2pm North Hill, Minehead to a free, informal event where ranger Tim Parish and National Park staff will go through the issues involved and how best to carry out burns in such places.
Weather allowing, there will also be demonstrations and discussion over lighting and fire control techniques for different vegetation on Exmoor.
Exmoor National Park Authority also has equipment that can be loaned for free to those carrying out controlled burning. This includes a fogging unit/bowser, road signs, beaters etc. Find out how to borrow the kit and how to get the best out of it. Light refreshments will be available and there is a transport grant available for Young Farmers.
To book a place please email Elaine Woodcock at ewoodcock@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or call 01398 322231.
