Itasca Forest Management
Fire was a natural component of the forest ecosystem. Today planned burns help eliminate fuels that could create dangerous fires. It also aids in regeneration of fire dependent species, like red pine. New growth is given the opportunity to become established after fire creates a perfect seedbed for new trees.
