The Southwest Florida Water Management District’s Governing Board will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday, April 23 at 9 a.m. at the Tampa Service Office, located at 7601 U.S. Highway 301 North. 

Setting prescribed fires in controlled settings can reduce the risk of wildfires burning out of control. That’s why the Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) will be conducting prescribed burns April through June on the Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve.

The Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve is located south of Cross Creek Boulevard between U.S. Highway 301 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard near Thonotosassa. Approximately 200 acres will be burned in small, manageable units.
