First Day Hikes, ParkPasses and Prescribed Burns
Prescribed Burns Benefit Ecosystems
You've heard "good fires prevent bad ones," but do you know how experts plan for them? Our latest blog post examines what goes into using prescribed burns to restore and protect Georgia's ecosystems. Experts use prescribed fires to stimulate the growth of herbaceous plants like wildflowers and grasses, which are the foundation of a healthy wildlife ecosystem. Wildflowers are crucial for pollinators like moths, butterflies and bees, and their health has impacts up to the largest animals, such as bears and deer.
George T. Bagby State Park
