For thousands of years, wildfires kept trees out of Iowa’s tall grass prairies, releasing nutrients that fed a lush, new growth of grasses and flowers. Iowa’s native tall grass prairies and plant communities developed under fiery conditions and are part of a fire-dependent landscape. By reintroducing fire, we recreate a process that maintains Iowa’s fertile soils in grasses and wild flowers. Since the early 1970s, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has used prescribed burns as a management tool to:
- Control undesirable vegetation (e.g. brome, invasive species, trees and brush, etc.)
- Manage native plant diversity and composition
- Prepare sites for harvesting, planting, or seeding
- Enhance seed production
- Control plant disease
- Reduce wildfi re hazards
- Remove slash and debris
- Release nutrients back into the soil
- Improve wildlife habitat
