Cal Fire plans a prescribed burn near the mouth of the Russian River on the Sonoma County coast on Saturday.
The two-acre controlled vegetation management fire is planned to begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday near Jenner, part of the Magic Mountain Shaded Fuel Break, Cal Fire said Friday.
A tour from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo will be on hand to learn about forest health and fire resiliency, the agency said.
Cal Fire’s Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, with The Wildlands Conservancy, said it plans to end the controlled burn by 5 p.m.
Such fires are intended to reduce the size and frequency of large, uncontrolled wildfires.
