Controlled Burns in Arcadia Area Planned

March 12, 2021 - Greg Grant will be conducting controlled burns on his pine savanna projects in Arcadia March 13-21.  

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