I have a question. How do we convince timber companies that own large tracts of land across this state to do patch work burns? In my opinion that is something that needs to be looked into by folks with influence. From my personal experience they want little to do with us peasants that pay the leases. When it comes to discussing habitat improvement etc. that falls on deaf ears! We as lease holders need help convincing these companies to discuss habitat improvements with those of us that are willing to help foot the bill.

I know there are good many private landowners that burn across the state, but I am only aware of one timber company that consistently burns thousands of acres annually.
