Prescribed burning is an important tool throughout Southern forests, grasslands, and croplands. The need to control fire became evident to allow forests to regenerate. This manual is intended to help resource managers to plan and execute prescribed burns in Southern forests and grasslands. A new appreciation and interest has developed in recent years for using prescribed fire in grasslands, especially hardwood forests, and on steep mountain slopes. Proper planning and execution of prescribed fires are necessary to reduce detrimental effects, such as the impacts on air and downstream water quality.

There is an overarching concern about the long term trade offs between air quality protection and efforts to mitigate unwanted wildfire. The emissions from wildfire may exceed air quality standards to such a degree that it may be prudent to allow greater levels of burning now to prevent unmitigated wildfires in the future. Prescribed fire implementation needs to regard to issues, such as health risk, public safety, and ecosystem damage if prescribed burning is not accomplished at the desired rates needs to be clearly understood by political entities, regulatory agencies and the public.

Landowners and managers, municipalities, the logging and livestock industries, and conservation professionals all increasingly recognize that setting prescribed fires may reduce the devastating effects of wildfire, control invasive brush and weeds, improve livestock range and health, maintain wildlife habitat, control parasites, manage forest lands, remove hazardous fuel in the wildland-urban interface, and create residential buffer zones. In this practical and helpful manual, John R. Weir, who has conducted more than 720 burns in four states, offers a step-by-step guide to the systematic application of burning to meet specific land management needs and goals.
