“‘Good Fire’ is a tool that allows us to preserve the beautiful and pristine landscapes we have in Virginia so we can continue to enjoy the outdoors, wildlife, and connecting to nature, now and for the next generation.” -Sam Lopez, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources
Have you ever taken a stroll through a wildflower meadow with explosive colors, buzzing, and bird song? Or have you ever hiked through the understory of a forest looking for wildlife or connecting with nature? You may have been enjoying the benefits of prescribed fire, a tool used to conserve and protect our landscapes. Sam Lopez, Wildlife Area Manager and member of the Burn Crew with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, explains how “Good Fire” is used to Restore the Wild. Sam answers your burning questions about the history, techniques, and results of “Good Fire.” And If you’re looking for the best locations to spot wildlife and enjoy the great outdoors, Sam has recommendations for Wildlife Management Areas across Virginia. Let’s Go!
