Prescribed Fire - Improving Habitat in the Summer Heat

Prescribed Fire is a critical tool when managing land in a landscape historically burned. Here in southern Missouri our native plants and animals have adapted over time to be more productive with routine fire. On this video, Matt and Chad are working to improve the edge of a couple small food plots. This area has been improved with chainsaws over recent years but the stumps sprouts and saplings are beginning to grow to heights that fire would have difficulty to control. Our goal in these areas are to increase diversity and provide more beneficial forbs, then native grasses, and to set back the woody plants and keep them in a more beneficial height. Don't let the drought get you down! Use the unique conditions to improve habitat.

This was also the most effective video on demonstrating safe and effective management of fire as well as how to get the best fire effects for management goals! Great work

This is the best prescribed fire video in the modern RU-vid land management era. Finally someone not trying to sell a product or use some gimmick to tag a big buck. Thank you for showing how simple, but effective, a small area prescribed burn can be. Keep it up, fellas.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Can’t wait to see the follow up in the spring. Great post guys!

Fixn' to go home and do a control burn on a very smmaaalll area of my ditch - I've learned alot here - thanks guys!! Very informative!!!

@patrickhenry7416 Год назад

By far the best prescribed fire video on RU-vid. Good job guys

Thanks Daniel!!

Im new to your podcast and your channel. But i know Hunter and Thomas on S&F theyve been huge to teach me prescribed fire. Seeing in this video, the green honeysuckle light up gets me really excited to light my stuff up soon. Thank you gentlemen!

Awesome video!

@scottschaeffer8920 2 года назад

Well done. BTW, the video quality is excellent! Felt like I was standing there.

@seanbalch7563 3 года назад

Need more of this type video. As if you guys are not busy enough am I right?!?! Keep up the good work

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Hahaha right?! We consult so much that videos will have to include some property visits.

Do you have any videos on what happened over the past few years? You are probably due for another burn soon. Esp to knock back the invasive vines. It is weird being in a class (hardwood management) where we are learning about oak regeneration and you are talking about killing your precious oak regen. That is what we need more than ever

fire 🔥 is life for native plants that dependon fire for seed germination.

@nickwolter86 3 года назад

As a wildland firefighter this is one of the best videos ive seen on youtube about burning. Sounds like your driptorch mix is a bit hot though.

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Thanks Nick! We appreciate you following along.

Morels like crazy after a burn

@collegeguy14 3 года назад

I’m curious and doubting that you are able to control post oak or black Jack oak with fire both species are highly tolerable of fire. We have killed both with fire in our pine stands but we had to add extra fuel around the trees and it took numerous fires to accomplish our goal. We hit growing and dormant season fires, it was a 4 year process to take out some of the black Jack oaks along with some help from a drought after one of the fires was a hard double whammy. Keep them rolling! Everyday is a burn day. Thanks!

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Control would be the key word. For us in this scenario it’s to set back. Control to ensure removal would require herbicide. We’re hoping to set back or too kill.

@buroakenthusiast6107 Год назад

Good stuff I want to try a growing season burn. Some of my land looks similar to yours. Loads of young honeysuckle under nice oaks. Do you ever burn small poison ivy plants? Some of the areas I've burned have 3-8 inch poison ivy saplings everywhere and I'm wondering if you've encountered that

@Landandlegacytube Год назад

We have lots of poison ivy. Fire really sets it back

Do you add baking soda to your water so that way it creates carbon dioxide and also extinguishes the oxygen in the air?

@adamritter5726 3 года назад

I would love to use prescribed fire, but the land I managed is family land. The owner will let me do anything I want, except burning. Any suggestions for other methods to replicate the effects of fire?

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Unfortuanently, nothing can produce the results as fire does. However, if you cannot use it, then use sunlight to get the regeneration you desire. Open the canopy or remove mat forming grasses with herbicides. I'd encourage you to share as much information regarding the benefits of fire as you can with the owner.

Hey here’s a fantasy based solution dragons can blow fire had a prescribed fire

@ebowofficial9956 3 года назад

Consider drinking with isopropyl alcohol

@graydonturner 3 года назад

Interesting video. I still would never do it in my context... That's what livestock are for and they'll sequester that carbon into the soil as organic matter instead of burn it off into the atmosphere all while allowing the diversity to return at a much faster rate than prescribed fire. The benefits of fire from a soils perspective are short term gains not long term solutions.

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Gray Turner appreciate the comment. As much as we love incorporating cattle they can’t achieve the goals we’re looking for without fire. Fire is a native disturbance, and many native plants and animals NEED it to flourish. Bobwhite quail are one of our focus animals and cattle alone can’t get us there. Also, invasive species and non-native plants are controlled much better with fire than with grazing. Many of those plants aren’t consumed by cattle regardless of the stocking rate, they have to be controlled mechanically or with fire. We believe fire will help control unwanted plants, promote desirable plants, improve the habitat for most wildlife and improve forage for cattle also. There is a lot of great research on this out of Oklahoma and other places working to manage cattle and wildlife together.

Grazing will not control or remove invasive species or significantly impact hardwood regen. Fire, like grazing, is a natural disturbance. It historically has been and should continue to be a part of the landscape just as large herbivore disturbance. Saying there is no place for fire in habitat restoration or maintenance goes against the natural processes that maintained the habitat for thousands of years before western settlement. Grazing has it's place as does fire.

@jamesmckay9966 2 года назад

You talk too much. Let us see more of the Fire. You love to hear youtself.

@Landandlegacytube 2 года назад

Haha! Okay, noted

@davemi00 3 года назад

Why not Brush Hog? Rent or Hire. Save your Plant 🌱 Carbon that way.

@hesutton 3 года назад

That will not accomplish the goals of improving the habitat in this unit. As stated in the video, the goals are to kill invasives and control hardwood sapling regen. Simply cutting the invasive species or saplings will not control either, fire will.

@Landandlegacytube 3 года назад

Tree Climber hesutton is correct and I’ll add to it, bush hogging also isn’t beneficial to certain species like quail, it creates too much thatch. Fire also stimulates native plants while mowing doesn’t.

@collegeguy14 3 года назад

Burning increases carbon sequestration on site. Even though you consume some with the burn itself the increased flush and production of growth above and below ground has been shown to hold more carbon per acre burned then acres not managed with fire, now this is prescribed fire and not a stand replacement wild fire.
