Control burn on camp lejune

Low intensity fires are key in the life cycle of the Longleaf pine(Pinus palustris). The fires clear weedy invaders and aids the germination of the Longleaf pine seeds. The optimal timing for burning to coincide with when natural fires would occur is during the spring and summer month to coincide with thunderstorms. many Braken ferns (Pteridium aquilinum) can also be seen thriving with the recently cleared underbrush. Intermediate disturbances in ecological succession are also known to maximize biodiversity.
