"Climate change is reducing the number of safe burn days. Rising temperatures cause lower relative humidity in the South and intensify periods when it’s too dry." Read this article highlighting how #RxFire in the southeast is helping longleaf pine thrive! apnews.com/article/forest-pr…

A US pine species thrives when burnt. Southerners are rekindling a 'fire culture' to boost its range

As the U.S. tries to restore a key forest ecosystem in the Southeast, landowners must light more fires on private property.

Fantastic turnout for yesterday’s Flatwoods Fire and Nature Festival at the UF/IFAS Austin Cary Forest Campus in Gainesville. Hundreds of people safely observed how controlled burns are conducted, and also learned the benefits of managed fire for both the habitats and the public.
