March 11, 2024 - Greg Grant is conducting a controlled burn on his longleaf pine in Arcadia this week (Monday, March 11). Winds will be out of the southeast during the burn.
In addition to creating scenic, open, park-like pine 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 declining pine savanna and grassland songbirds.
