Book Description
Excerpt from Fire Management Plan: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Management fires, including both fires of natural origin and prescribed burns, are those fires which contribute to the attainment of the management objectives of a park through execution of predetermined prescriptions defined in detail in a portion of the approved Resources Management Plan. Natural fire is the preferred means to achieve the prescriptions in natural zones. This use of natural ignition may be adopted when analysis of historic fire occurrence, control, and influence indicates that natural fuel loading has not been significantly altered by past management of fire control. It may also be used where the prescription provides for a transition from an altered state back to historic fuel loading.

Book Description
National parks played a unique role in the development of wildfire management on American public lands. With a different mission and powerful meaning to the public, the national parks were a psychic battleground for the contests between fire suppression and its use as a management tool. Blazing Heritage tells how the national parks shaped federal fire management.

Wilderness Management and the Restoration of Fire

ISBN:
Category : Prescribed burning
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Our recognition of the ecological importance of fire has increased to the point where the operative question is no longer Should we have fire on our public lands? but How should we restore fire as an essential ecosystem process?. This white paper places the restoration of fire in the context of the 1964 Wilderness Act, and then examines the implementation of federal fire law and policy in five Wilderness Areas (WAs) in northern Arizona dominated by ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) ecosystems. The analysis of these WAs reveals that while the three federal agencies involved in the study (Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service) share similar fire legislation and policies, implementation varies from agency to agency. Although initiated in northern Arizona, the implications of this study span wilderness ecosystems throughout the United States and suggest the need for a comprehensive national Wilderness fire policy.
