This is a neighbor-helping-neighbor burn. Charlie King and his neighbors, Dale & Jerry Swanner, will be burning their land together; two separate tracts that are contiguous. The land has mixed-aged longleaf, totaling about 7 acres. Fire was reintroduced to this stand last year. This is a follow up burn to improve forest health and reduce fuel loads.

If you can attend the burn, please send a text message to 910-603-1052, so we know who to expect, and if the burn is cancelled, we will let you know.

Please wear closed-toe shoes and non-synthetic clothes. We will provide all the tools needed. You may want to bring your own gloves and eye protection. Bring drinking water. We will have plenty of tools on site.

Please use Carver’s Creek State Park Sandhill’s Access address (link below) to get to the burn unit. You will see the dirt driveway (McCLoskey Rd.) to the left which shares the entry to the State Park. Please look for and follow the Event signs.
