Prescribed Woodland Burn - Oak Savanna Restoration

See the Prudenterra crew light a backfire, use a leaf blower, rake, flapper, and water to maintain the burn unit boundary, and burn an oak savanna to aid in restoration.

Excellent video. It is almost Godly in its perfection.

Looks like a good burn, I’ll look for follow iOS on this site
When is the next fire planned? What month, and what parameters where you burning under? I’m always interested in as much information as is available with oak work. Anything to bring the white oak back

why are you burning forest

[@lukegran2160]

Oaks have a special adaptation that is called "hypogeal germination" which allows for the seedlings to vigorously resprout after a fire burns. There are many other adaptations that tend to promote fire - their leaves are more volatile to fire, their bark of older trees is very thick which tends to protect their living tissues inside the bark from fire. This burn is being done to promote oak regeneration which, in parts of Iowa is severely lacking and is a major threat to the continuation of oaks in Iowa hardwood forests.
