Hitchcock Woods to conduct dormant season prescribed burns
The Hitchcock Woods Foundation will run a winter dormant season prescribed burning program across Aiken's urban forest through at least March, possibly burning 400 to 600 acres this winter. Burns, limited to 75 acres per day, will follow EPA SC Forestry Commission and DHEC smoke guidelines with trained managers monitoring firebreaks and perimeters. Public safety patrols by Aiken DPS, warning signs at entrances, and efforts to reduce fuel aim to lower wildfire risk while benefiting flora and fauna in the longleaf pine ecosystem.
