Environmental stewardship is good business.

Air Quality Protect air quality by burning only when prescribed burning is an appropriate silvicultural technique for the improvement of forest conditions or aesthetics in visually sensitive areas or when required by law for hazard abatement. Ecological and Structural Diversity Enhance ecological and structural diversity where feasible and prudent by using a variety of silvicultural techniques and by retaining a diversity of vegetation and unique structural features.
