Fire
The Cascade foothills of the BCCER are a fire-adapted habitat. Our vegetation and habitat improvement programs make use of broadcast and pile burning to reduce forest fuels and encourage native grasses. Yellow starthistle is a major target of our broadcast burns, and we have had success in restoring native plants to areas once dominated by it.
