Q.Land Management & Pasture
What is prescribed burning and should I use it on my property?
A.
Prescribed burning is the controlled application of fire to manage habitat — restoring native grasses, controlling invasive species, reducing fuel loads, and stimulating new growth. Used on pasture, native grassland, longleaf pine forests, and wildlife habitat. Requires training, permits in most states, and weather windows. Effective but high-skill management tool.
