    I’m sure had some good information to share but most of what I heard was garbled and broken up.
  • TEAM Appanoose
    Research based
    I’ve been performing prescribed burns on our farm since 2004. The information in this podcast is research based and has given me the answers to taking the habitat to the next level. Always worth listening to. Bringing in other experts and experience in on the podcast is also educational. Keep up with sharing the findings! In 2022 on our farm implemented small unit burns 1-4 acres in size in every month since March. The results are note worthy.

    Interesting and Informative
    I have heard Dr. Lashley on other podcasts discussing the use of prescribed fire to improve wildlife habitat, mainly turkeys. This podcast is very interesting and informative in the historical use of fire and its current uses for wildlife habitat as well as grassland grazing.

    Excellent resource for property owners!
    The Fire University series does an exceptional job of conveying current state of scientific knowledge in a manner that is easily understood and converted to “on the ground” actions. Highly recommend for anyone interested in land management.

    Great show! Wonderful to listen too, I’d love to hear more of a history on fire on this continent. Native Americans and there relationship with fire. And how they co existed in the landscape shaped by fire in those pre European centuries

    The Immense Value of Fire University
    The Fire University podcast is invaluable. As a landowner, land steward, and wildlife enthusiast, I find this podcast so interesting and full of educational opportunity. The insight offered by Dr. Lashley and his guests has transformed the way I think about and approach prescribed fire. This podcast is a perfect way to raise awareness of the importance of prescribed fire and bring research-based information to the public.
