Controlled or prescribed burning is a technique
used to manage conservation lands. These
controlled burns reduce fuel buildup, decrease
the likelihood of serious hotter fires and
stimulates new growth. Some plants
require
fires to regenerate themselves.

Habitat loss is one of the four issues the CHNEP has identified as a threat to the
health of our estuaries. The CHNEP
supports many efforts to help restore habitat,
including encouraging homeowners to
use plants that are native to Florida.
