Got some forest I want to burn. I believe fire is an amazing management tool and have burned pasture somewhat often. But.... I'm worried about burning this bluff full of mature oak trees. There's evidence of damage from a previous fire and I don't want to finish any of them off. The previous fire was a pasture fire that got away from them. It got pretty hot and the fire department had trouble controlling it.
The question; can it be burned if conditions are right so that the trees won't be harmed, or will I have to rake and remove litter around the trees I want to protect? Protecting every tree would be quite the undertaking.
