The Four Corners Fire: A Fuels Reduction Success Story
The Four Corners Fire: A Fuels Reduction Success Story
Nebraska Forest Service: Publications
In 1903, tree planting began on the Dismal River Forest Reserve in an effort to avoid what, at the time, appeared to be very real prospects of a future timber shortage. One hundred years later, the Forest Reserve is the Nebraska National Forest, and ideas of a national timber shortage have been replaced by a compelling need to thin forests to prevent large, catastrophic fires.

Severe ice storms occur every year in the United States and Canada, particularly in the Midwestern and eastern regions of the United States. Along with fires and wind, ice storms are a frequent and major natural disturbance factor in eastern deciduous forests. Likewise ice storms are responsible for deaths and injuries of people and cause dramatic damage and tree loss to urban forests. Ice storms annually result in millions of dollars in loss, and potentially billions of dollars in losses for extreme and widespread ice storms. Damage to electric distribution systems, blocked roadways, and property damage from fallen trees and …

Winds can quickly move headfires and create high flame lengths and intense heat.

The Nebraska Forest Service (NFS) has served the communities of Nebraska since the beginnings of the Federal Urban and Community Forestry program in 1976. Since that time, the NFS has worked actively with well over half of the state’s 534 cities and villages. In addition, NFS foresters have done public tree inventories, resource assessments and management plans for 175 of those communities. The NFS endeavors to provide the best and most recent technical forestry and arboricultural information to help communities manage their tree resources. Community tree resources are assets that need to be managed and cared for just as any …
