Grassland Ecology

During Naturalist course studies in Florida, there was class discussion about controlled or prescribed burning-especially in wildlife refuge settings.

Fire is a natural part of grassland and forest ecology, and used as a tool it plays an intricate part in overall management of wildland settings.

Stimulating germination of desirable grasses and vegetation, prescribed burning may improve wildlife habitat.

While monitoring Middle Farms last eve, I thought to document a few photos taken near The Driving Range.

This summer student Sentinels and I can take note of specific grassland revitalization here.
