Prescribed Burn Position Statement |

Buckeye Forest Council - Executive Summary
Adopted October 2009
The Buckeye Forest Council (BFC) is a membership-based, grassroots organization dedicated to protecting Ohio’s native forests and their inhabitants. The BFC opposes the use of prescribed burns in Ohio’s public forests.
- Fire is not a common natural occurrence here, and particularly on the large scale—covering lowlands as well as ridgetops—of recent prescribed burns.
- Fire is harmful to many species, to the forest as a whole, to Ohioans’ health, and to the global environment.
- The stated rationales for the practice are either unnecessary and inappropriate (fuel reduction, biodiversity enhancement) or supported by insufficient scientific evidence to justify the large-scale burns that are being conducted (promotion of oak regeneration).
- Conducting prescribed burns in the second half of April, after the herb layer has emerged and grouse and turkeys are nesting, is a particular concern and should be stopped immediately.
If prescribed burning projects on public land continue, they should be required to undergo environmental impact studies, and there should be an opportunity for meaningful public input.
