Abstract:

As the NC Wildlife Commission proves each spring, burning land can improve the quality of life in the wild. This carefully monitored practice replenishes nutrients needed by the plants, mammals, and insects in the burn blocks. Included in the day in the life style section of the article is the crew and equipment that carry out this conservation work.
