Restoring Bottomground Prairie: Burning the Bottomground, March 17, 2016

Al & Jeff keep the fire from the buffer strip.  

 March 17, 2016 was a big day!   
After burning the Front 3, with the expert help of our new friends Dee Aduddell & Cody Aduddell, we went on to burn the Creek Field & the Road Field.  

Jeff surveys the burn.

For that burn, it was old friends to the rescue!  Al Alspach & Jeff Morris, together with their friend Jay, conducted a textbook-perfect burn.   There were sudden wind changes & a few nail-biting moments, but in the end the restorative fire swept through those two fields & nothing more.

Thank you, Dee, Cody, Al, Jeff, & Jay!

We're getting by with a lot of help from our friends!
