Portland Metro area residents who may be concerned by wildland fire smoke Thursday in the area of Beaverton’s Cooper Mountain Nature Park should be made aware that this fire is a scheduled prescribed burn to control invasive plant species and reduce wildfire risk through reducing potential fuels for a wildland fire.
The prescribed burn is being jointly managed by Metro, Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. Please note that all facilities and trails within Cooper Mountain Nature Park will be closed Thursday for safety.
