Prescribed Fire Awareness Week, Cumberland Island, GA
Depending on the wind direction, if you are underway or anchored near Cumberland Island, the smoke can be very annoying and unhealthy for some. See Report from Cumberland Island. Our thanks to Ted Arisaka for reminding us of these burns.
It’s #prescribedfireawarenessweek and our fire management team is gearing up for the first burn of the year on Cumberland Island.
Prescribed fires provide many benefits to animals, plants, and the humans that live in and around fire-adapted ecosystems. Restoring a natural fire regime to an ecosystem reduces fuel build up that can lead to damaging fires, rejuvenates soil nutrients, opens habitat for animals such as gopher tortoises, and more.
Stay tuned for updates on the prescribed burn at the Stafford units on Cumberland Island scheduled for the end of this week.
