PUBLIC NOTICE: Canfield/Cancourse Prescription Burn on November 20 - 21

The City of Coeur d’Alene Parks Department and the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department are coordinating a prescribed burn of piles of cut vegetation with Kootenai County and the Idaho Department of Lands on the Canfield/Cancourse Natural Park.

This summer, tree crews pruned vegetation and felled some dead trees. The cut vegetation was piled at various locations around the Canfield/Cancourse Natural Park in preparation for burning when weather conditions were deemed favorable. November is the best time for burning for purposes of control.

The prescribed burn is scheduled to begin tomorrow, November 20, and will conclude on November 21, 2025. Crews will be burning prescribed burn piles in two small units in that area. The first is a 2.8-acre unit in the southeast corner of the Cancourse Nature Park, and the second is a nearly one-acre unit on a private parcel adjacent to the fire reduction work that was done last year in the Canfield Natural Area and Cancourse. Notices will be posted at park entrances.
