Prescribed Fires

Working exclusively with Kestrel Prescribed Fires Solutions, LLC (Kestrel Prescribed Fire Solutions, LLC.) Conducting prescribed fire in Ohio is an incredible wildlife and natural area management tool. It is also a task that takes extensive planning, training and knowledge to pull of safely and successfully, as well as an approved burn plan and proper government permitting. The old adage go’s that if you burn long enough its not if you will lose a burn, but when!

For the above reasons it is extremely important to hire a contractor with the knowledge, skills and ability to set your land on fire! Together with Kestrel Prescribed Fire Solutions we have almost 30 years experience as licenced prescribed fire mangers in Ohio, and thousands of acres of prescribed fire under our belts. It is hard to find this experience in Ohio in the private sector, as the majority of licensed prescribed fire managers are employed by governmental agencies or non-profits. We are fortunate to have assembled a professional and experienced crew to conduct prescribed fires in Ohio. Addionally, Kestrel Prescribed Fire Solutions is fully insured to conduct prescribed fire on your land. This insurance takes the liability off of the landowner and places that liability back on us. You do not want to conduct RX fire on your property in Ohio without RX fire insurance!

Prescribed fire has taken place naturally across our landscape since the beginning of time. Indiginius Americans routinely set fire to the wilderness to reap the rewards of vegetation and in turn the wildlife that would follow. Even before that time lightening stikes would burn large areas at a time. Since European settlement prescribed fires have become much less common across our landscape in Ohio, but we are trying to do our part to change that. Some of the incredible benifits of prescribed fires are invasive species management, thatch and residue reduction, pest mitigation, Oak and hardwood regeneration, and soil enrichment.
