I did a plant inventory last summer of a field in Pennington NJ for two months to prep for a burn. We were/are going to burn the whole field. A fall or spring burn benefits either grasses or forbes a bit more, respectively (i think thats the order), so I'd imagine this would benefit. The only temporary concern would be the timing for nesting. That I don't know the specifics of for your area.

Please take some more pics over the next few months of the same shots. I'd love to see the succession and to see whether or not it looks successful and your opinions on wildlife abundance and diversity in the area.
