Re: burn safety

The key to fall burning is not to burn too much. Actually the key to
responsible burning when regarding habitat is to only burn a portion each
year and burn on a rotational basis. Three years seems to be a good
rotation, however your conditions and challenges will dicatate what your
burn rotation should be.
