Sproulman,Bob is the district forester for district 9(Moshannon state forest 814-765-0821).Have Hanna call him.He certainly could use a little education on habitat matters.They've done several burns over the past few years.In fact they even have several areas where they've done experimental burns combined with herbicide treatments for the US forest service.They day I went out with Bob,we were primarily looking at several big sites that Dr William Sharope from PSU had limed.There's alot of cool stuff being done.All one has to do is call to find out.I've never had a problem getting anyone from the PGC or DCNR taking me out in person to show me.

It's flat out B.S to say that DCNR doesn't want to do controlled burns.It's very risky with Pa's liability laws and it's very labor intensive.

What do you guys think these burns will accomplish?Be specific.
