The Daily Courier
Prescott National Forest fire managers have canceled plans to burn 90 acres of accumulated slash piles in Ponderosa Park this week because of hot and dry weather.
Sean West, a spokesman with the forest service, said Tuesday that as conditions improve in the coming weeks, fire managers will reschedule the burns as part of their efforts to improve forest health, reduce hazardous fuels and create defensible space around residential and high-use areas.

We have baby Ponderosa Pines on our property that you can have to re-forest the burned out forest. I can't find anyone to come and get them. Easily accessible!! doesn't anyone want them??
