Spring burning restrictions to be in place across Northwest Minnesota 

This Spring, most of Northwest Minnesota will be under a Spring Burning Restriction, which means that people will have to get a permit if they need to burn for a number of reasons. Darren Bundy of the Minnesota DNR Forestry Division explains how Minnesota’s Spring Burning restriction works. 

Bundy says there are some exceptions that will allow landowners to burn, but they will need a permit to do so. 

If you’re unsure if your area is in a burning restriction, Bundy says there is an online resource available to you where you can check burn restrictions statewide. 

To obtain a burning permit, go to the Minnesota DNR Burning Permit by County webpage at apps.dnr.state.mn.us/burning-permits/admin_areas.
