Prescribed Burn Scheduled for Shamrock Ranch in Northern Mendocino County

Press release from the CAL FIRE Mendocino Unit:

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Mendocino Unit will be conducting a vegetation management prescribed burn on the Shamrock Ranch. This prescribed burn will treat approximately 10-acres of chaparral and understory vegetation within oak woodlands and mixed conifer habitats, creating a mosaic of variously burned vegetation and islands of unburned habitat.

The Shamrock Ranch is in the northern portion of Mendocino County, east of Highway 101, and south east of the town of Laytonville.

Burning will begin on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. Burning will start at approximately 6 p.m. and conclude at approximately 12 a.m.

This project adds to significant work underway throughout the state and brings California one step closer towards meeting state fuels reduction goals directed by the California Fire Plan and the California Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan. To track the progress being made, both in your community and throughout California, visit the CAL FIRE fuels reduction dashboard at
