You can call your local district office and ask them if you have a place in mind . They should be able to tell you if they have any planned it is dictated by the weather but normally they know a week or two in advance. :911

milkman, not sure about a "schedule of prescribed burns"? Burn timing is regulated or should I say dictated by the weather conditions. I have a Forestry ID number and when I'm ready to burn I call the Forestry Service and they say yea or nay, based on conditions, they also require a legal description of the property being control burned. This is from the private land owner side. I think the Forest Service will do all the work for a fee, fire lines and all. Treefarmer

Luckily I don't have to deal with FIRE either prescribe or wild but usually if the weather is right for a certain area then they will burn. I still work with the state but just deal research plots...i.e. measuring trees.

Seems like they plan them during hunting season and they plan logging during turkey season.

The reason I ask is we all know how much turkeys love burns if I knew areas that were going to be burned it would give me a leg up. I picked up some quotas for the lake delancey unit in ocala national forest and we have a camp up there. I have never hunted there but when I went up and looked around there is good habitat and I found sign so I just figured if I knew where they were going to burn it would just be that much more Intel.
