Controlled Burn Scheduled for Arcadia

January 27, 2017 - Greg Grant will be conducting a controlled burn in Arcadia on Saturday, January 28th in his loblolly pine savanna. 

In addition to creating a scenic, park-like forest, regular prescribed fire reduces fuel loads decreasing the chance of catastrophic fires during the summer; controls weeds, diseases, and insects; and promotes wildlife habitat for deer, turkey, quail, and pine savanna species like brown headed nuthatches, pine warblers, and endangered red cockaded woodpeckers.
