    Prescribed Fire
        • Mary H. Frazier

        • Prevention and suppression of wildfires is a key part of the Virginia Department of Forestry’s mission; the agency achieves this through education, along with responding to and suppressing wildfires. Firefighters observe weather and drought conditions to maintain an appropriate state of readiness to allow quick response to wildfires. The Agency also uses prescribed or controlled fire as a management tool to benefit Virginia ecosystems.

        • Forests are vital for preserving and improving water quality; forested watersheds are critical sources of drinking water, provide habitat for fish and wildlife, and offer recreational opportunities. The Virginia Department of Forestry protects these water sources through timber harvest site inspections and development of best management practices for harvesting operations. The agency cooperates with partners and landowners to preserve riparian buffers and protect water quality.
