We are fired up about burning for healthy forests!
Prescribed Burning Season
January 14th, 2010 Filed Under Blog
Here in the Southeast it is almost burning time. John Stivers likes to say every day is a burning day and I won’t argue with that. We need to make decisions based on fuel moisture, KBDI, and the burn objective. But most old time burners have learned that usually during the last two weeks of February and the first two weeks of March conditions will get right. Cold fronts from the northwest will bring good drying weather and and steady winds. This is the time to burn young stands and places where scorch should be kept to a minimum. This is the time for fuel reduction burns and first “re-entry burns. Get you burn plans polished off, do your smoke screening, get your equipment ready, and your crew trained. The day is coming. Keep your Bic in your pocket.
