The meadow, two months after a prescribed burn. Native plants coming in: crownbeard, milkweed, yarrow, blackberry, wild bergamot, wild strawberry, showy tick trefoil. So far so good.

If you see smoke rising off of Angel Island today, fear not (as I initially did), it’s a controlled burn. It’s stretching out over the bay and very visible from downtown.

Prescribed burns on the meadow! Next I'll see what native plants we grow from the seedbank, and some areas will be planted with native hardwoods and shrubs.

The last image shows a close-up after burning--a burned field next to an area that wasn't burned.

A county sheriff in Southern Oregon arrested a US Forest Service burn boss after a controlled burn escaped.

The unprecedented arrest set off alarms because of its implications for the future of controlled burns, reported @thatsMohrlikeit, and raised questions about financial liability, destroyed careers, and the consequences of imperfection in the field.

We got to burn our small prairie at work on Friday. Student interns had a great time helping out with the #PrescribedFire and here's hoping for lots of wildflowers next year! Thanks to Andrew Stoehr of Butler for getting some photos (especially this first one) while he was stopping by to observe.
