Update - Prescribed Fire 2009

Cedar Point, an area of the Timucuan Preserve, located at the Southern end of Black Hammock Island was the site of a prescribed fire during July 2009. The 140-acre controlled burn reduced a hazardous build-up of brush and shrubs. Burning under specific weather conditions will allow firefighters to reduce the chances of a more dangerous wildfire during a time of more severe fire danger. The burn will also help restore the pine flatwood ecosystem, which depends on fire to reduce competition from other plants.
