Description:
Prescribed burning is the deliberate use of fire, under specified and controlled conditions, to accomplish one or more objectives of forest land management. All fires in a natural environment do some damage, and prescribed burns are no exception. It is a matter of accepting a risk of loss to obtain a desired gain. Properly planned and executed, prescribed burning can accomplish many objectives at reasonable cost and minimum risk. This publication explains how this can be done. (PDF Format Only)
