re: Tree Canopy and controlled burns

Guarantee our BLH would burn right now. It is bone dry. All of our land is flat but we do have lower swamps with more cypress, and slightly higher ridges that are more oak, hackberry, gum and honey locust.

I’ve been trying to do habitat improvement by just cutting every hackberry and gum tree I see to get sunlight hitting the ground.
Our shooting lanes are just filled with leaf litter, no growth. Forest is closed canopy, no understory growth, can see for 200 yards. Terrible wildlife habitat.

I’ve been wanting to do some prescribed fires for awhile now, but don’t have a handle on it. I need to talk to a forester to see what the regulations are and how wide fire breaks would be.
