March 16, 2016 - Greg Grant will be conducting controlled burns in Arcadia the afternoons of Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday March 16 on both his tall grass prairie and pine savanna projects. 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.
