Using fire for the important tool it is to improve wildlife habitat! Join Grant and the crew on the fire line from first light to mop up!
Watch to see the choices that are made as the circumstances change throughout the day.
We cut and felled the cedars, allowed them to dry for two to three years, then burned them where they fell. A fabulous composition of native warm season grasses and forbs will recolonize the area.
If you take degraded habitat - unless it’s been intensely plowed and that seed bank really messed with - if you use prescribed fire or whatever the appropriate technique is for that habitat, usually the natives will recolonize that area.
The value of these areas after fire is to many species of wildlife, and the views created, and the value to hunters, is much, much greater than the value it had when they were covered with eastern red cedars.
