Improving Forest Health and Wildlife Habitat Through Prescribed Fires
Enhancing Ecosystem Resilience
The USDA Forest Service is set to conduct prescribed fires this fall and upcoming spring on the Hoosier National Forest. These controlled burns are crucial for reducing hazardous fuels and improving overall forest health. By promoting biodiversity, prescribed fires play a significant role in maintaining a thriving ecosystem.
Benefits of Prescribed Fires
