Working Together for a Safe Burn

摘要

Prescribed burning is an important tool for managing natural resources, forests, wildlife, and eco-restoration in Alabama. Fire is essential in the management of numerous fire-dependant species. Nothing takes it place. Mechanical fuels treatment, herbicides, and grazing may simulate the natural phenomenon of fire and be considered surrogates, but they do not mimic fire. Nothing has the same impact on the flora, fauna, and soil solution as fire. It has been said that we have an ecological imperative to use prescribed fire.Prescribed fire is a SAFE way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health, and reduce wildfire risk. Fire can be a low-cost technique for a landowner to achieve natural resource objectives.
