Before burning, check weather conditions and local regulations. Burn dry, natural vegetation and keep the fire small and manageable.

Our state parks are amazing! A big thank you to Susan Buxton, Director of the @Idparksandrec who took a couple of us to the Bruneau Dunes, Thousand Springs, and Three Island Crossing.
