Prescribed burning, also known as controlled burning, helps restart the ecological clock, thin unwanted vegetation, and benefit native plant species, creating a habitat where birds can thrive.
Working with the Interagency Burn Team (IBT), a collection of private, state, and federal partners focused on burning to help rare wildlife, Birds Georgia has conducted prescribed fires on our habitat restoration areas at Panola Mountain State Park, Jekyll Island, and at Laverlea Preserve, as well as at other areas across the state.
Learn more about why prescribed fire is important in this short video clip featuring Gabe Andrle, one of four IBT-certified burn team members at Birds Georgia.
