Fire is a powerful force of nature and it can serve a valuable purpose when it comes to agriculture, landscapes and natural habitats. 

Ben Wheeler, a local Wildlife Biologist, talks about the advantages of controlled burns and is a great resource for area landowners when it comes to the process of planning for and executing a controlled burn. He also debunks a few misconceptions about the damage fires cause for habitats and wildlife species.
