If you’re considering conducting a prescribed burn on private land, Texas A&M Forest Service recommends that you use a certified and insured prescribed burn vendor.

Prescribed burning is a land management tool with countless benefits, from reducing fuel loading and risk of a catastrophic wildfire, to clearing out unwanted vegetation, invasive species, pests, etc. It also recycles nutrients back into the soil, creating an environment with native new growth and abundant grazing opportunities for wildlife.
In this episode of “Ask a Forester,” District Forester Connor Murnane walks us through the process and procedure of conducting a prescribed burn at the W.G. Jones State Forest outside of Conroe, Texas. This area’s urban wildland interface offers some interesting challenges for prescribed burning, and is a good demonstration of the resources and effort that goes into prescribed burning.
