Prairie Fire (wildfire management)

Prairie Fire management involves intentionally setting controlled fires, known as prescribed burns, in grassland or prairie areas. This practice helps reduce excess dead vegetation and control invasive species, which can fuel larger, uncontrolled wildfires. It also promotes healthy plant growth and habitat diversity. By carefully planning when and how these fires are conducted, experts minimize risks and ecological disruption. Prairie Fire management supports fire-dependent ecosystems' health and resilience, ensuring natural processes continue while protecting nearby communities and resources.
