Controlled burns during my flight today

I’ve seen controlled burns in forests to consume fuel so it does not start a wildfire. Why burn a field like that?
Its a common thing that farmers do. It helps them prepare the field after a harvest to use it again.
Hm. So it’s like tilling but the nuclear option?
Wisconsin does this to preserve native ecosystems! I believe this particular land is maintained by the County.
Prescribed fire is the intentional application of fire to a specific pre-planned area, under specific environmental conditions, to accomplish planned land management objectives. Without the use of prescribed burning as a management tool, Wisconsin could lose many of its native grassland, wetland and savanna plant communities.

That’s a pretty neat Pic.
Thanks! Fun fact, it’s not a drone pic, I took this with my phone flying a paramotor. Shameless plug !paramotor@lemmy.world 😄
Dude that’s dope af
First I thought I’d do a controlled fire. Then I thought, “I don’t know how to control fire.” The rest is history.
