Prescribed Fire Awareness in Alabama: Conservation Through Action

At Tutt Land Company, we commend Governor Ivey’s commitment to responsible land management. Prescribed fire isn’t just a preventive tool—it’s a strategic investment in the long-term health of Alabama’s diverse landscapes. By reducing hazardous fuel loads, prescribed burns help prevent wildfires and revitalize the land. This process creates ideal conditions for native vegetation and improves habitats for deer, turkey, quail, and many other wildlife species. "

More Than Fire—A Foundation for Better Land

Prescribed fire offers more than just wildfire prevention and habitat enhancement. It controls invasive species, recycles nutrients into the soil, and promotes the growth of native plant communities. These ecological benefits lead to real economic value—improved forage for livestock, higher-quality timber, and better conditions for hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Healthy, well-managed land also strengthens local economies through forestry, hunting leases, and ecotourism.

At Tutt Land Company, stewardship isn’t a slogan—it’s how we do business. We partner with landowners to create tailored management plans where prescribed burning plays a central role in sustaining and improving land value. Whether your property is for recreation, investment, or conservation, our team is ready to help you maximize its potential.

As we recognize Prescribed Fire Awareness Month, we invite landowners across Alabama and the Southeast to consider the long-term value of prescribed fire. This time-tested method not only protects today’s forests but helps ensure that future generations inherit thriving, productive landscapes.
