A fire burns along the ground in a ponderosa pine forest, New Mexico

Detailed Description

Prescribed fires, such as this one, are used by land managers to restore ponderosa pine forests to more resilient conditions. We are fortunate to be able to occasionally participate in such burns because we are co-located with land managers.
