LA GRANDE – (Release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) Manulife (formerly Hancock) properties in NE Oregon will reopen for day use this Thursday, Sept. 15. Day use hours are 4 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Fire danger has eased slightly but remains high. Fire restrictions remain in effect, including the following restrictions: Open fires and non-industrial use of chainsaws is prohibited, and hunters are required to possess firefighting equipment (one shovel and one gallon of water or one 2.5 pound or larger fire extinguisher) when traveling on roads (except for highways or county roads).
