🔥➡️✅ Prescribed burn success!
💚 This week, the South Florida Water Management District worked with MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife as they conducted a prescribed burn on the northern end of Lake Okeechobee. This beneficial burn targeted cattail, willow and other vegetation.
🌿 Prescribed burns are an important land management tool in South Florida.
🌱 They ensure ecosystem health and reduce the threat of wildfire.
🐟 They help improve habitat for fish, waterfowl, wading birds, and other wildlife populations.
🌾 They aid in controlling certain invasive vegetation.
