Introducing the newly updated Introduction to Prescribed Fire in Southern Ecosystems

The goal was to update this extensively used guide to include the best available research and current management practices. The previous versions emphasized prescribed burning on the Coastal Plain while this version adds information on burning in grasslands and on steep terrain. Sections on wildlife management, weather, and smoke management have been completely rewritten to include current information. The list of suggested reading contains many additional articles that have been published since the previous version. Currently the guide is only available online at the following link: http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/su/su_srs054.pdf 

Hardcopies will be available in late September.
