With the recent weather and burn suspensions we want to remind the public that the Alaska Division of Forestry partnered with the Mat-Su and Kenai Peninsula Boroughs to help protect homes and reduce human-caused wildfires by offering free brush and slash disposal sites for any private, non-commercial users.
We worked on cooperative agreements with the boroughs to ensure residents can drop off spruce-beetle infested wood and other downed or damaged trees at designated sites, free of charge. The debris will later be safely burned or chipped by borough staff.
Providing designated drop-off sites will reduce debris burning and the potential for escaped fires.
Please share these details with your friends, family, and community and always remember to #TakeTimeToLearnBeforeYouBurn
