GALT, California – Firefighters with the Bureau of Land Management’s Folsom Lake Veteran’s Crew were on hand, May 5, 2021 for a prescribed burn at the Cosumnes River Preserve.

In addition to reducing fuel loads – the preserve parallels a busy portion of California Interstate-5 and is often the location for wildfire ignitions – the prescribed burn removed invasive weeds and grasses allowing native grasses, adapted to fire, to flourish. The native grasses of the area provide critical habitat and food for several species of migratory birds including the sandhill crane. Original public domain image from Flickr
