While Prescribed Burning may be considered a controversial practice in the Eastern US, this notion is offset as viewers are instructed on the important role that NRCS can play in applying this valuable vegetation management tool.
Prescribed burning is an effective tool for removing undesirable plants, enhancing desirable plants, and improving wildlife habitat, forage quality, and grazing distribution. This webinar outlines NRCS policy that clearly defines how the Agency can play an important role in applying this valuable practice. Using the tools described in this training, prescribed burning can be safely and effectively applied to achieve several important land management objectives.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
