“The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry is kicking off a statewide prescribed burn awareness campaign to let the public know there are good fires and bad fires,” Strain said.

“Prescribed burning is a useful, environmentally friendly management tool used to improve the health of Louisiana forests.  Many people aren’t familiar with prescribed burning and do not understand the positive effects it has on certain wildland environments.”
