Yes, it can. It is important to choose the right type of plant that will grow with the soils in your area. For help contact a Farm Bill Wildlife Biologist in your county. To find a FBWB visit www.NebraskaPF.com. Good luck!
@@SHANONisRegenerate Again it depends on the goal you are trying to achieve. Fire generally helps maintain and encourage native habitats much better, controls invasive species, and adjusts the compositions and structures of the landscape. Chopping can leave behind seeds (whether good or bad), leaves behind good hibernation places for bees but eliminates hiding for other wildlife. What is left behind when chopping can also prevent new growth by limiting the amount of sunlight available underneath.

Chop don't burn
Both methods can be excellent management tools depending on the goals you intend to achieve.
