We completed a highly productive prescribed burn for a landowner in southeast Kansas. This property had mature stands of encroaching eastern red cedar, which was reducing the heterogeneity of native habitat that wildlife and pollinators thrive in. This property will have fresh green sprouts of all kinds of native plants any day now. Native wildlife such as deer and turkey will flock to the lush growth. Northern bobwhite quail will utilize the varied structure of the plants, the seeds and the variety of insects that will utilize this recently burned site.
