Prescribed Burn

Prescribed burns are intentionally ignited fires that burn under specific conditions in a predetermined area, to attain planned resource management objectives. Every year the Ohio DNR operates prescribed burns to help maintain our natural resources.

On November 7th, 2008 roughly 480 acres were burned at Tar Hollow State Forest to help encourage Oak tree growth and sustainability in the forest.
