Powell, Chris

Abstract:

Powell discusses myths people have about prescribed burning, or the controlled burning of woodlands. One is that fire sterilizes the land; another is that animals do not know what to do in a fire. Actually fires help restore the ecosystem. Fire burning resources available to landowners include the Forest Resources Commission and private foresters.
