Closure of Bruneau Duck Ponds due to prescribed burns

Idaho Fish and Game, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, will be conducting prescribed burns on the Bruneau Duck Ponds segment of the C.J. Strike WMA between December and March, depending upon weather conditions. 

Fire activities will include burning approximately 100 machine piles of Russian olives from recent removal activities to reduce future fire risk, as well as a broadcast burn of 230 acres that will reduce the amount of emergent aquatic vegetation to improve waterfowl and shorebird habitat
