RX Fire Insurance for Associations from Forest Specialty

RX Fire Insurance for Associations from Forest Specialty

Prescribed fire and other hazard reduction burning activities are powerful, cost-effective tools to help promote the health and well-being of an environment. Many ecosystems across the U.S. are fire-adapted, meaning that they thrive best when exposed to fire – some species like the lodgepole pine need exposure to fire to activate their seeds and propagate the species. Prairies and grasslands have historically been managed with controlled burns, and now face a loss of area due to the encroachment of non-prairie or non-grassland species. Prescribed fire can help mitigate this encroachment while simultaneously enriching the grassland or prairie and encouraging new, healthier growth.

The prescribed burn associations Forest Specialty underwrites all have similar guiding principles in mind – responsible stewardship of the land, peer-to-peer connection and education, and an interest in utilizing historically tried methods of habitat restoration such as prescribed fire.
