Consulting forester and Indiana Land Specialist Rob Haubry discusses what you can do after you conduct a controlled burn. The most important thing is to determine your goals for the site prior to burning. On this site, the goal is to remove the native grass duff with fire and encourage forbes and wildflower pollinators.

I really like how you have the firebreaks greened up already that will look beautiful when you're done

And here I was, expecting you to tell everybody that they need to buy some non native food plot garbage that is basically invasive and overall harmful to a property and targeted to deer only. Good for you! We need to get back to natural browse and forage that is good for ALL wildlife and not just deer. I own 40 acres, 25 of which are part of an 80 acre plot that i own with my brothers and a nephew. We have been working that property towards native species for nine years. We aren't where we want to be on it but we are on our way. It amazed us how many deer we saw the first year after we booted the cattle farmer that had it leased off(long story). We went from seeing an occasional few a day to watching over 30 deer feeding in or crossing through that field on any given morning. And all we did was get the cows off and burn it a couple times. Fire WORKS!!!

That's awesome! We try and promote native species across the landscape whenever possible! Prescribed fire and follow up management depending on your objectives is a great place to start!

@@Whitetail_Properties I would love to have bobwhite quail on the place again. But the sad fact is there have been none anywhere near it in decades, to my knowledge. I live in the pine belt of western Louisiana, I can remember a time when it was far more rare to not walk into a covey of roosting quail while trying to slip into the area I was hunting than not. Many a time I got the crap startled out of me by the sudden explosion of wings from almost underfoot. Those days are long gone, nobody raises the large family gardens as we once did. We always left the last of the peas, beans and such for "the critters" as my parents and grandparents called them and there were always quail among the grove of pin oak trees that grew near the big garden. Our forests are nearly totally managed for pine production. The timber companies have now started a practice of spraying clearcut acreage with herbicides and that is a complete different set of issues which I am sure you can imagine. This practice guarantees no seeds and pollinators, no browse, no grasses, nothing to help ANY wildlife. Its sickening.

@@TheBrushcutter Yes the timber industry doesn't care about wildlife. They are simply managing land for profit - it is a sad deal. We can only try and educate and empower landowners to do what they can on the ground they have available to them. It sounds like you are doing just that.

my goal is deer bedding and big long prairie grasses. The weeds started to take over because I didn't burn so its got alot of left over dead on top. Thank you for your advice.

when do you burn?

We have a few videos on timing of burning and how to decide! But, there are growing season fires and dormant season fires.

They’re essentially free

@@tripperDC85 We linked the few things we used in the burn in the description of the video. That's great to hear! That is exactly why we make the content that we do, to try and educate, inform and encourage land owners to improve their land!

Not necessarily free -- you have equipment costs, labor costs, fuel costs, and time

Such destructive practices need to be outlawed in a world where the land is already depleted of carbon, burning the carbon is deteimental

controlled burns are an essential part to the health of most North American ecosystems, the removal of fire has led to decreased vigor and resilience for both woodlands and prairies and has increased susceptibility to invasive takeover and a reliance on chemical use

@codykoster8697 🤣yes, please do. People like you also believe mono-cropping and heavy chemical use are necessary for agriculture.

Fires get sunlight to the ground and support prairie grasses which store carbon better long-term than trees.

Controlled burns are not a net carbon emitter. If anything they are veeery slightly carbon negative
