Benefits Of Prescribed Fire

Last updated on Thursday, September 6, 2018

(UNDATED) - Autumn is one of the best times for conducting prescribed fire.

Landowners and habitat managers often take advantage of the fall weather to conduct prescribed fire for many reasons:

To prepare an area to have prairie grasses and wildflowers sowed in with better seed-to-soil contact.
To enhance native grass stands, valuable pollinator plantings or oak regeneration.
To control invasive species and provide a greater diversity of favorable plants for many species of wildlife.
