St. Vincent Vignettes: The Island Smolders Post-Prescribed Burning
Loading...
Uploaded by outdoorgeekgal on Feb 10, 2009
Periodically, prescribed burns are performed on St. Vincent NWR. Their purpose is to augment the role of natural fire in the ecosystem: stimulating the growth and reproduction of certain kinds of vegetation, and keeping shrubby ground growth to a minimum, thereby reducing fuel loads for catastrophic fires and allowing sunlight to filter in. This video features the GeekGal's visit to the pine-palmetto, interdune areas, just after a February prescribed burn; with the woods still smoldering, and the setting sun slanting through the thinned out thickets. With Spring around the corner, in a matter of weeks, the blackened ground will be sprouting and budding new life, once again. And just in case there is a rekindle, on this visit, she brings along her favorite firefighter, Mike V.. Happy Birthday, Mr. Mike! This one's for YOU!
