Summary
The board voted to impose a stage-one burn ban effective July 1, 2025, aligning local restrictions with those of the Bureau of Land Management as wildfire-risk mitigation for the county.
The Lander County Board of Commissioners voted to implement a stage-one burn ban beginning July 1, 2025 that will follow Bureau of Land Management restrictions.
