Field Report
Below is an image from the Blackwater Ecological Preserve I took this afternoon. The area to the left of the fire break/path was recently subjected to a controlled burn in hopes of providing optimal conditions for the restoration of the Longleaf Pine. While the effects of such burns may not be pretty, they do provide for some intriguing ecological dynamics.

that beckons...a good long hike...
It is an excellent place for a long hike. The only problem is that when you cross one of the burned areas, your boots and pants legs are coated in soot.
