Description

For some six decades now the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge has been managing and restoring the refuge for wildlife benefits. This has involved prescribed burning, mostly cool season, for understory enhancement, maintenance of historical forest type dominance, and hazard reduction. Wildfire suppression has also played an integral part in refuge management. This fire management system has served the refuge and wildlife objectives well for almost a half century. However in recognition of a maturing Refuge forest, greater public environmental awareness and concern for natural resource management, changing National priorities, and advances in state of the art wildlife management, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge proposes through a revised fire management planprogram to finetune prescribed fire and wildfire suppression activities. Proposed management actions will consist of both cool and warm season prescribed burning for understory enhancement, hazard reduction, maintenance of historical habitat type dominance, and natural pine regeneration and wildfire suppression. These proposed actions are in response to service objectives which seek to preserve, protect, and enhance habitat for wildlife populations which include threatened and endangered plants and animals, migratory birds, common indigenous wildlife species, and public recreation and environmental education.
