Posted by Publisher on

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

 


 

The city's urban forester Justin Hammers along with Fire and Public Works Department personnel conducted a prescribed burn in Knoll Park this morning in accordance with the park maintenance plan to restore a long leaf pine forest ecosystem there. 

Weather conditions were near-perfect to direct smoke up and out over the bay away from neighborhoods, according to public works director Ladd.

Unbelievable, Truly the only Ugly part of Fairhope. Sorry for all Fairhopeans who remember what it look like.Cannot believe City politicians continue to condone this insanity. They can’t see the forest because of the trees. They continue to cave to a small group. I remember the vibrant color of flowers. That was 60+ years ago. New Burnt look.

You can thank the City of Fairhope for letting it get in the condition that it was in. The burn was what it needed. For those that don’t understand then they can find something else to complain about!!

Typical uninformed and idiotic statement. For thousands of years before Europeans inhabited this area, the natives and well, God renewed longleaf forests with fire. This is how these forests naturally thrive AND fire is the only way these trees can reproduce.
