February 08, 2024 • Leave a Comment

Prescribed burns in Alachua County leave a blanket of smoke over parts of the area. This beautiful sunset is viewed from the Lake Santa Fe area.

These prescribed burns are a way to reduce hazardous fuel buildup and control overgrowth. It also contributes valuable nutrients to the ecosystem.

To view prescribed burns, you can use THIS INTERACTIVE MAP from the Florida Forest Service.
