November 3, 2023 – The Pinebrook Master Association (PMA) and the Pinebrook Homeowners Association (PHOA) is performing controlled pile burning in the community open space. PMA work began along Pinebrook’s western boundary in Toll Canyon below Pine Ridge and Canyon Drives. This work, undertaken by local forestry expert Alpine Forestry, occurs when an approved “burn window” is opened by state and local authorities. We can expect future controlled burns to be planned as conditions allow this fall/winter and next spring. The areas where burning is planned on PMA and PHOA open space are marked in orange on the map below.
