Here are a few photos of new growth coming in around a creek that recently went through a controlled burn. Burns are fantastic for ecosystems that are adapted for them. Regular burns help keep the possibility of an out-of-control fire from occurring by destroying accumulated debris. They also help enrich the soil, control invasive species, and provided a necessary stage to the life cycles of many plants and animals.
