Ecological burning is an important component of our land <br />management strategy to protect and restore prairie ecosystems. Recent policy changes at TNC require <br />them to have a signed MOU in place with all partners with whom ecological fire resources are shared. <br />Thus, the attached MOU will permit City staff and equipment to work on TNC fires and for TNC staff <br />and equipment to work on fires on City land. TNC has requested all Rivers to Ridges Partners who are <br />engaged in ecological burning in West Eugene to engage in a similar MOU. Please sign the attached <br />MOU and return to Kris Aanderud (x4966) at 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. If you have any questions feel free to <br />contact me directly at extension #4888 or via email. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
