March 11, 2025 - Greg Grant will be conducting controlled burns on his pine savannas in Arcadia this week, March 11-16. Winds will be out of the southwest during the burns.
In addition to creating scenic, open, park-like forests and promoting native grasses and wildflowers, regular prescribed fire reduces fuel loads, decreasing the chance of catastrophic wildfires during the summer; controls underbrush, diseases, and insects; and promotes wildlife habitat for deer, turkey, quail, pollinators, and other declining grassland birds.
