Dear Friends,
Awareness of value of controlled/cultural burns in forestlands continues to rise. Long Island newspaper, Newsday, reports on the fire ecology of Long Island's unique Pine Barrens in the aftermath of small West Hampton Pines Fire. Byline: Tracy Tullis

Another reason to have controlled burns is because wildfires contribute to carbon-dioxide in the air.

The wildfires are burning the 8,000 year old peat in the soils of the former wetlands!

Fires are a complex thing. We understand that #controlledBurns are a part of maintaining some #ecosystems and even the #Aboriginal communities would do fires.
Our understanding is #industrialAgriculture is poison for #ecosystems, with #GMO crops designed to kill #insects and other forms of #biodiversity.
With #organicFarming, there is a 35% increase in variety of species in an area, and 50% greater abundance of #wildlife.
Planned pile burn projects are located within the park on South Mountain (980 acres), San Antonio Mountain (1,400 acres), Cerro San Luis (670 acres), Cerro Pinon (69 acres) and will take place between now and spring.
#Smoke from these burns to be visible from all directions coming into the Jemez Mountains, Jemez Springs, Jemez Pueblo and Los Alamos.
Smoke may linger for a few days after each burn.
