马里兰州两处野生动物保护区将实施计划烧除：2026年10月至2027年4月分批进行
美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（FWS）10月29日在马里兰州 Cambridge 宣布，该局将与美国荒野消防局合作，于2026年10月至2027年4月期间视天气与现场条件，在 Blackwater 与 Eastern Neck 两处国家野生动物保护区实施多场多英亩的计划烧除（prescribed burns）。
据该局说明，烧除作业期间，为保障公共安全，部分公共区域可能临时关闭，待烧除完成、确认安全后重新开放。作业期间，居民可能在道路与水道沿线看到消防人员与装备，以及用于点火、监测与观察火情的气船和无人机系统。
烧除产生的烟雾在作业期间及之后可能可见，并可能影响能见度与空气质量。消防管理人员将监测烟雾状况，并选择能尽量减少对周边社区影响的条件实施烧除。
这批计划烧除是切萨皮克沼泽国家野生动物保护区群（Chesapeake Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex）长期土地管理计划的一部分，目的是降低林地与沼泽地的危险燃料载荷，同时改善野生动物栖息地。鱼类及野生动物管理局与马里兰州林业局、大自然保护协会合作规划与实施，公众联系人 Jim Helstowski，电话 443-972-3124。（来源：美国鱼类及野生动物管理局）
Prescribed Burns Planned at Two Maryland Wildlife Refuges From October 2026 Through April 2027
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in Cambridge, Maryland, on October 29 that it will work with the U.S. Wildland Fire Service to conduct several multi-acre prescribed fires at Blackwater and Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuges from October 2026 to April 2027, conditions permitting.
Closures of public areas may occur during prescribed fire operations to ensure public safety, the Service said, and any impacted areas will reopen when the burn is complete and it is safe to re-enter. During operations, residents may see firefighters and equipment along roads and waterways, as well as airboats and unmanned aircraft systems used to ignite, monitor and observe fire activity.
Smoke may be visible during and after the burns and can affect visibility and air quality. Fire managers will monitor smoke conditions and conduct the burns under conditions intended to minimize smoke impacts to local communities.
The prescribed fires are part of the Chesapeake Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex's ongoing land management program, planned to reduce hazardous fuel loads in forests and marshlands while improving wildlife habitat. The Fish and Wildlife Service is working with the U.S. Wildland Fire Service in cooperation with the Maryland Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy. The public contact is Jim Helstowski, prescribed fire specialist, at 443-972-3124. (Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
