While fires can certainly be devastating and destructive, fire can - when properly managed - have benefits for the environment. Our guest this week is Adam Warwick, the Stewardship Manager at The Nature Conservancy - North Carolina Southern Blue Ridge Office. Warwick discusses the ways that renewed forests and woodlands can benefit plants and animals. Officials can manage this environmental cycle through prescribed burns. In North Carolina and South Carolina, there are two primary fire seasons: In spring and fall when plants are dormant. However, fires can happen any time of year when the conditions are right. Warwick explains the ways to properly manage the risk of fires by knowing when weather conditions such as dry, windy conditions with low humidity can easily create wildfires and brushfires.
