Governor Ivey has declared March as Prescribed Fire Awareness Month in Alabama, and it's worth understanding why this practice matters.

Prescribed fires are the controlled application of fire to a specific landscape, carried out by trained professionals under carefully planned conditions. Far from being destructive, they are one of nature's most powerful restoration tools.

Many plants and animals actually depend on prescribed fire to thrive. Longleaf pine ecosystems, native wildflowers, and wildlife species like the gopher tortoise all benefit from the periodic clearing that fire provides. It removes overgrown brush, recycles nutrients back into the soil, and reduces the buildup of debris that can fuel dangerous, uncontrolled wildfires.

This month is a great opportunity to learn more and support the professionals who carry out this critical work across our state.
