I hope more states offer prescribed burn and certification programs.. In addition to making forests healthier, prescribed burning benefits wildlife by creating new habitat and improving existing habitat.. In the two to five years following a prescribed fire, burned areas often sustain more grasses and forbs, increasing forage for herbivores. It is also a useful tool for managing insects and disease in woodlands.
