January 14, 2017 - Greg Grant will be conducting controlled burns in Arcadia on January 14th and 15th on his tall grass prairie, a new longleaf pine pollinator project, and 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, endangered red cockaded woodpeckers.
