Correction --- old pile burning post sent in error

Please note: We are hearing reports of an e-mail that recently went out from this blog dated Feb. 18, 2021 that talks about a pile burning project on the Bearlodge Ranger District. The Black Hills National Forest is not currently burning piles and we are looking into this. We kindly ask for any corrections to be made stating the Forest is not burning piles.
