🔴 LIVE: Tres Rios prescribed burn | FOX 10 Phoenix

Описание: We're taking a look at a prescribed burn in the Tres Rios Wetlands.

Here's more about the area from the city of Phoenix:

"The lush and scenic Tres Rios is now home to more than 150 different species of birds and animals like muskrats, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, bobcats, and beavers. The beautiful cottonwood groves, willows, mesquites, and other desert shrubs around the reed-lined ponds and along the trail attract many migratory and wintering songbirds. By bringing the Salt River back to the condition it was in during the early 1800s, this project is repairing a natural habitat."

The U.S. Forest Service says prescribed burns are important because "after many years of fire exclusion, an ecosystem that needs periodic fire becomes unhealthy. Trees are stressed by overcrowding; fire-dependent species disappear; and flammable fuels build up and become hazardous. The right fire at the right place at the right time."
