lighting_fire_3_dense_brush.jpgFire is getting started54 viewsNote the brush in the background, that is the "before" shot. Check some of the other photos for how it looked two years later. Fire is not a one time treatment, it has to be repeated for long term results. Use of a herbicide will also help. The initial burn top killed many of the large tallow trees, but they are resprouting and also regenerating from seed. The master plan calls for burning every 18 months to two years untill we can apply a herbicide. Burning has made that process much easier.
