Green River Parkway Corridor
Mechanical Fuel Reduction Project
- The pine flatwoods community adjacent Green River Parkway will undergo mechanical fuel reduction that will improve habitat and reduce the risk of wildfire.
- Equipment with mulching heads will carefully and selectively mow approximately 40 acres of pine flatwoods in preparation for prescribed burning.
- This process will mimic natural cycles that shaped the Florida landscape over thousands of years. Reduction of fuels allows firefighters to safely carry out prescribed fire as well as wildfire suppression operations in the urban interface environment.
