The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting a planned burn within Tarong State Forest in the Tarong area on Wednesday (July 15), weather permitting.
As a result, smoke may be seen in the Nanango Tarong Road area. Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions.
The aim of this burn is to reduce the volume of forest fuels and reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires. The fire will also provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration.
This burn is part of the annual hazard reduction/conservation management program undertaken by the QPWS.
