We agree that the beauty of longleaf pine ecosystems is that they support a diversity of plants and animals. When restoring an area, you want to select other species that can be burned early and regularly alongside the young longleaf pines - like many native groundcover species. Shrubs and others species of trees have a place in the longleaf landscape too, but the trees you mention would need a longer establishment period before burning.

@@TheLongleafAlliance The Longleaf Ecosystem isn't something I would call a Restoration. It's not natural when there are trees missing. In my yard I had the natural Ecosystem until Hurricane Rita. I had nearly century old Long Leaf, Shortleaf, Southern Red Oak, Black Jack Oak, Post Oak, Sand Post Oak, Dogwood, Huckleberry and Crab Apple. The number of southern Red Oak equalled the number of Longleaf and we burned this off Every Year so that the broomsedge grass could come back green. My mom and I picked enough huckleberries to make jelly every year. My yard is starting to bring back what is missing despite my attempts at planting non-native Oak trees.

@TheLongleafAlliance6 ай бұрын
Great questions! The first burn isn't necessarily more difficult to "control" as a lot of specific site factors come into play to determine the complexity of the prescribed fire. That said, there can be a good amount of prep work that goes in initially (like fire break creation) that can gets easier over time. As for assistance and cost, most state forestry agencies will come out to visit a landowner free of charge and create a burn plan for them (also free of charge). If the landowner would like their state agency personnel to conduct understory burning, plow firebreaks, etc. there's typically fees associated depending upon multiple factors such as the state, number of personnel needed, and equipment needed. Here's a link to South Carolina Forestry Commission's website that provides fee/rental services and equipment as an example (www.scfc.gov/management/landowner-services/fee-rental-services/). Private burn contractors are also available for these services but can be more expensive. Depending on where the landowner lives, renting a burn trailer may also be an affordable option as they typically provide a lot of equipment for an average rental fee of around $100/day.

There is a lot of discussion on whether or not prescribed fires help or hurt the Bobwhite and the Turkey population. Basically saying that the fires destroy active nesting sites, kill lots of insects that these birds need especially when they are young, and give the poults less cover to hide from predators in. I know you speak of the benefits and I believe in this as well... but wouldn't fall burning be a better choice? Can you speak to this issue here, please?
@TheLongleafAlliance Жыл бұрын
Hi Tim - thanks for the question about fire timing and ground nesting birds like quail and turkey. Timing of prescribed fire is a balance between burning objectives and burn windows. In general, a very small portion of land in the Southeast is burned each year (and only a portion of those occurring during nesting). Burning in the fall could be an option for some, but there are tradeoffs for promoting groundcover and controlling woody encroachment. For example, fall burning would prevent seed production for many native grasses and fall flowering species. Burn windows in the fall tend are also hit or miss - think about the extreme precipitation fluctuations we see from year to year in the fall. We may experience droughts (and wildfire potential) to tropical storm/hurricane rain events. Would be happy to connect further on this subject if you'd like - drop us a note at longleafalliance.org/contact/

Since Hurricane Michael, we lost all of our longleaf pines. It is truly sad, because when our daughter now 23 sees pinecones in the state park or even outside of a office or restaurant, she says..."Hey mom, I can get my bucket and pick up their pine cones for them! My husband and I have decided to plant another longleaf pine in our yard for her....maybe before too long, she will be able to sit under the tree and pick up her pine needles 1 at the time under the shade of the tree and yes...pick up her pine cones. We miss the squirrels and we had so many more birds, etc. Miss our longleaf pine trees...not as much as Olivia, but for the first 20 years of her life, she would sit under the shade of those longleaf pines and process her busy day quietly for an hour or two most days. We still have a huge oak in the back, but it is not the same she says. Olivia says she wants her trees back.
