Prescribed burn, Longleaf Pine forest (Pinus palustris) Southeastern USA by Carol Dembinsky / Dembinsky Photo Associates Prescribed and managed burning is the preferred method of reducing the risk of catastrophic fires by reducing the build up of vegetation on the forest floor from year to year. Prescribed burning is also a wildlife management tool that promotes great biodiversity, and helps maintain the overall health of the forest ecosystem.
