Controlled burning

Controlled burning, also known as prescribed burning, is a forest management technique where fire is intentionally set under specific conditions to help manage land. This practice reduces excess vegetation, promotes new plant growth, and prevents larger, uncontrolled wildfires. It maintains healthy ecosystems, supports wildlife habitats, and can improve soil quality. Conducted by trained professionals, controlled burns are carefully planned considering weather, wind, and moisture levels to ensure safety and desired outcomes. Overall, it’s a valuable tool for ecological health and community safety.
