If you were looking to perform a legal controlled burn in a privately held current Oak-Pine forest (historically Pine-Oak) area buffered up against a Savannah with the desired result to maximize the generation of Pinelands oriented wildflowers and flora what season would be the best to have this performed? Late Winter/Early Spring?

- Start date
Prescribed burning season ends March 15. Sometimes it can be extended to March 31 on a day by day case if the weather ccoperates to stay within the prescription perameters. The State Forest Firewarden has to grant permission on any extensions after the March 15 cut-off.
Thank you for the feedback. March it is
Depending what town this area is located you can contact the respectful NJFFS office and they can go over all the permitting rules and regulations regarding prescribed burning with detail.
Planning and advice are free. For physically performing the burn there is a charge.
