Prescribed fire is a normal part of regeneration for the health of the forests and grasses in the environment. America lost its recognition that fire is safe and healthy when applied correctly. We are now recognizing the positive benefits of its use.
Our objective for a Prescribed Burn is one or more of the following goals…
Improve forest health
Increase habitat for wildlife
Control undergrowth/reduce invasive species of plants
Reduces fuel loads in the forest thus reducing forest fire potential
Aid tree propagate (e.g. longleaf Pine)
Opens the understory for wildlife
“Prescribed Burns, are fires that are purposefully implemented by land managers with the goal of restoration.” Our goal here is to reduce to fuel loads on the ground in order to prevent wildfires. By removing the fuels, wildfire won’t have the potential of becoming large unruly out of control fires. We respect the land and want to observe best land management practices.
In 2023, North Carolina ranked 3rd in the nation for the number of wildfires, only beaten by California and Texas. We welcome you to be a part of our TPBA.
