January 29, 2020 - Town Board Meeting Information on Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is planningna series of prescribed burns to be conducted during March, April and May when weather and safety conditions are right to meet the objectives of the burns. Prescribed burns help to maintain and restore the natureal habitats for wildlife and reduce the chance of wildfires outside the refuge. The oak savanna ecosystem, with its plants and wildlife, is adapted to fire and depends on periodic burning for continued existence. The refuge averages around 4,000 acres of prescribed burning each year. For questions concerning the refuge prescribed burns, call the refuge office at 763-389-3323 or visit their website (below). http://www.fws.gov/refuge/sherburne/ Information on Sand Dunes State Forest Stakeholder Advisory Group Sand Dunes - Stakeholder Advisory Group

 Snow and ice control
operations are expensive and involve the
use of limited resources and funds. To
ensure the roads are in safe winter
driving condition and maintain fiscal
responsibility Orrock's policy is to normally
begin snow/ice control operations, when a
snow event results in at least two inches
(2”) of snow accumulation and/or the snow
has stopped falling. The consideration of cost,
environmental impact and severe icy
conditions that seriously affect travel are
factors used when deciding if/when and to
what extent, ice control products are
applied to town roads. Additionally,
Minnesota statute § 160.215 affects the use
of ice control products.
Need a
Road Access/Driveway Permit? Email WSB

to speak with someone about an Orrock
Township Driveway permit.
