 On March 15 and 16, Detachment 1, 177th
Fighter Wing, Warren Grove Range, in
coordination with the New Jersey Forest Fire
Service, B Division and Drexel University
performed it's annual controlled burn.
Close to 70 people were involved in the
operation, which cleared approximately 900
acres as part of a five-to seven-year cycle
that clears different parts of the range.
Controlled burns remove underbrush - a
wildfire fuel source, opens areas for growth
and keeps the woods in healthy condition. It
also provided the Drexel Forestry students
the opportunity to study the effects of controlled
burning on this type of forest. |
