Discover how The Nature Conservancy in Virginia and state and federal partners are restoring Virginia’s Appalachian forests through fire. “Controlled burns” improve forest health, helping to open the forest canopy and encourage a greater diversity of oaks and other hardwoods that offer a vital habitat for plants and animals. Through more than a decade of collaboration in the Allegheny Highlands with the USDA Forest Service, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation--Natural Heritage, and Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, we’re bringing back a thriving ecosystem that benefits both nature and people.
