Collaborative Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between land trusts and conservation organizations across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, Southeastern Burning for Birds<\/a> engages private landowners with ecologically beneficial prescribed fire in ways that bring maximum benefit to fire-adapted and declining bird species of the Southeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its establishment in 2020, the collaboration has built relationships and expanded across the region, focusing on restoring habitat for these focal bird species and educating landowners about the benefits of prescribed fires during the growing season. Southeastern Burning for Birds partners with local volunteers and bird groups to help conduct pre- and post-burn bird surveys at each site using eBird and invites landowners to view demonstration units to learn about opportunities for burning on private lands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
