Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSFWS Pile Burning at LPO Refuge (22304900603).jpg | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire Management staff completed pile burning along the Refuge Auto Tour at Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge last week. Refuge management uses silviculture, the art and science of managing forests, to provide wildlife habitats that are missing from the surrounding landscape. Prescribed fire has been used in forest management on the Refuge for many years. Most of this work occurs in the dry forest habitats dominated by ponderosa pine, western larch and Douglas fir. Commercial and non-commercial thinning reduces competition between the remaining trees for sunlight, water and other nutrients. After thinning, the residual fuels, or slash, may be stacked into piles and burned (as seen in this picture). A final step is burning the whole unit. These steps help to safely restore fire to Refuge forests and accelerate natural forest succession. The benefits of thinning followed by prescribed burning include: reducing the threat of large wildfires; increasing protection for surrounding homes and property; reducing stand density, canopy closure, ladder fuels and fuels on the forest floor; and naturally thinning trees and recycling nutrients into the soil.
