after_the_burn.jpgThe afternoon following the burn191 viewsNo, thats not snow, it's ash from the biomass that was partially converted to fertilizer. The immediate after math of a burn can look pretty bleak, however, with a little rain and a few days time this property will look very different with lots of new grass and tender forage plants sprouting.

lighting_fire_3_dense_brush.jpgFire is getting started174 viewsNote the brush in the background, that is the "before" shot. Check some of the other photos for how it looked two years later. Fire is not a one time treatment, it has to be repeated for long term results. Use of a herbicide will also help. The initial burn top killed many of the large tallow trees, but they are resprouting and also regenerating from seed. The master plan calls for burning every 18 months to two years untill we can apply a herbicide. Burning has made that process much easier.
