Unburned and Burned Silvopasture after Two Years

This is a quick look at some of the vegetation differences between a silvopasture which has been thinned and grazed for two years with and without controlled burning.

What livestock do you pasture in your woods? Cattle? Sheep? Goats? How much does it cost to get a burn permit where you live?

Valentin Lance We pasture sheep and goats together. Burn permits are free here in Fluvanna County, Va. I just call the local dispatcher before and after the burn and that's it!

The Piedmont Earthworks Sounds good

Did you seed at all? Or is this natural regrowth?

[@thepiedmontearthworks3006]

We seeded lightly with mostly orchard grass on both sides here; less than five pounds per acre. Almost all of the vegetation seen is natural. The orchard grass only came up on the burned side.
