Controlled Burns For Wildlife Management - The Management Advantage #68

[@jlw60186]

As a forestry student I was really excited to see y'all get on the subject of prescribed fire. I am in a fire class right now and it is amazing what can do.

jlw60186 Mother Nature's way of managing!

+Phillip Unrau Maybe some of them need a lesson from the superior forestry service.. they do controlled burns spring-fall for wildlife preservation.. so when the boundary waters DO get a wildfire it's not as serious as most places.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

I have 6 acres of pines that I hired a forestry mulcher to go through to open it up for sunlight, as there was no sun hitting the ground. Would now be the best time to burn so I can have this same type of result? My goal is to have cover, bedding, and additional food.

I have yellow pine planted on one of my properties in Tennessee 90 acres and the states coming in to do a 40 acre burn in the pine this winter. Do I have to go in and do hatchet and herbicide after the burn or will the burn kill off all that lower trees that you have in your video?

What's the best way to do a controlled burn in a large meadow/small grassland area? To keep woody species out? Can you make a firebreak the same way you did here?

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Mow and disk your breaks to break it up into sections.

How can I keep the burn from killing the trees?

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Lazza Leppi Pine bark is a good insulator that protected trees in this burn.

Yeah, but if you don't want an ugly pine monoculture, you're screwed. Tree species diversity is a good thing. In the south and the intermountain west, you have so much pine monoculture and then whine and cry that you have pine beetles wiping out entire forests. You wonder why it's happening. You need other conifers besides pines and you need deciduous trees.

We’ll teach you how to burn some stuff, but first, let me show off some turkeys
