Prescribed Burn of Slash Piles Scheduled for October 1 – November 30, 2025

Denali National Park and Preserve has announced plans to conduct prescribed burning of slash piles from October 1 to November 30, 2025. This procedure, which will take place in the park’s entrance area, is contingent on weather and site conditions.

Prescribed burns are a crucial tool in managing forest health and mitigating the risk of wildfires. By carefully burning accumulations of forest debris, or slash piles, park officials can control the intensity and spread of potential wildfires. The upcoming burn in Denali National Park is part of this proactive strategy.

Visitors to the park during this period are advised to be aware of these activities. While the burn is controlled and carefully monitored, there may be some impact on visibility due to smoke. Further information and updates can be found on the park’s official website.
