For quail, they need the previous year's growth of bunch grasses for nesting. A good rule of thumb for burning to enhance quail habitat is to burn on 2 year cycles...so divide yourgrassland/forest edge areasup into as many manageable burn units as possible and burn half of them every year. Also, make sure that every 50-75 yards there is about a 20-30 foot wide clump of sumac/plum/etc. for screening cover. You may not be really increasing numbers very much, but you should see more quail utilizing your property.
