Overview
Prescribed burning is a common management tool used in native forests worldwide. These burns are generally used to reduce fuels in an attempt to reduce future fire risk and thereby protect assets and property. Some attempts have been made to burn in order to improve ecological values at a site. However, there has been considerable debate regarding the impacts of prescribed burning on native vegetation.
