PRESCRIBED BURNING

Are you interested in learning how to do your own prescribed burning?  Midwest Prairies teaches landowners how to burn every spring.  See the home page for more details.

This 13-minute video shows many aspects of prescribed burning.  From getting equipment ready, briefing employees and landowner, going over the burn plan and initiating the burn.

Many thanks to an efficient and experienced crew!  Midwest Prairies burn crews come with many years of experience and training for efficient and safe burns.

Controlled burns are the most important management tools in the prairie. The prairies have adapted to thousands of years of random wild fires and thus now rely on burning to encourage growth, reduce thatch, and discourage weed growth.
