Inland Northwest National Wildlife Refuge Fire Management staff conducted a fifty-acre prescribed fire at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge earlier this spring. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge is located in an area of northeastern Washington on the eastern edge of the Columbia River Basin, known as the Channeled Scablands. This rugged terrain supports an unusual pattern of wetlands, rock, ponderosa pine and aspen forests, grassland, and shrub-steppe habitat. Since the fall of 2013, approximately 400 acres have been treated with prescribed fire within the Hale project area to improve and restore ecosystem health, as well as reduce the risk of catastrophic wild fire- creating a healthy and more resilient landscape.
