Federal land managers are planning to conduct prescribed burns on 180 acres in Douglas County.

The land is about 6 miles west of Glide in the North Bank Habitat Management Area.

The burns are dependent on weather conditions, and could begin as early as Tuesday.

The North Bank Habitat Management Area was established to help with the repopulation of Columbian white-tailed deer.

The deer’s Oregon population was removed from the endangered species list last year.
