Re: Fire this early?? - >> reply

>> It depends on the specific area you are working. Here in NE IL the burn 
season runs from right after snow melt to no later than mid-April. This year 
we did some burns in mid-February. Here things have greened up too much to be 
able to burn mid-April. Also the reptile and amphibian mortality is 
unacceptable by mid-April.

<< I read about prescribed burning taking place in early April, and I get a 
 little concerned.  Fire is a tool, but if not properly applied, it does no 
 good.  Burning this early only promotes cool season exotics;  the research 
 shows the best time to use fire for controlling these exotics is at the end 
 of April through mid May.
