I'm burning for you
Trees
Save the trees
Controlled burning is a tool used for foresters where they burn parts of the forest to help maintain a healthy forest and prevent uncontrolled fires.
Natural resources
Trees are a natural resource.A natural resource is something found in nature that can be used by people. Trees are a renewable resource meaning once used they can be replaced. Unlike renewable resources nonrenwable resources don't replace them quickly. Inexhaustible resources are not depleted by human activity.
Environmental concerns
Trees are an important part of the worlds ecosystem,providing food and shelter for wildlife. Trees are important for our every day lives. The house you live in,the buildings we work in all use lumber provided by trees. Even the paper we write on is provided by trees. Probably the
most important thing they provide is the oxygen we breathe. Healthy forests must be protected.
Healthy forests
Heathy forests must be protected for the health of the plant and all the organisms on it.
How to do a controlled burn
The first priority in a controlled burn is conducting a safe burn. Foresters need to know wind speed and direction, humidity and multiple other factors before they can do a burn. They create a perimeter of natural and man made fire breaks with no fuel. An example of a natural fire break would be a river. They set a backfire which moves slowly with the wind. Firefighters monitor the perminiter to prevent uncontrolled spread of the fire.
What I learned
I learned that healthy forests are an important part of the planet. Although most people consider fire as a destructive process if done properly in forests it could be constructive process for maintaining a healthy forest.
