Controlled Burn: Tioga State Forest, PA

With funding support from RGS & AWS more than eight miles of fire line was cut on seven burn units in the Tioga State Forest, Pennsylvania. Prescribed burning in these units is underway and will continue as weather conditions allow. The goal of these projects is to improve the growth and form of established oak seedlings by controlling the amount of competing vegetation. The result will yield a vigorous stand of regenerating oak seedlings and a flush of new growth, making for some great habitat!
