Recently, I stumbled across a prescribed burn in action at one of our county Forest Preserves in northern Illinois.

Rockford Rotary Forest Preserve, 11/13
Prescribed Burn

Same location, 11/14
Ash at Rotary Forest Preserve

The after-burn wasn’t as interesting as during the burn but it was fun to walk around the charred earth and listen to the birds, singing as any normal blustery November day…

I bet when you return next year that you can hardly find any remnants of the burn!
