Fire History - North Carolina State University

This quote was added by peermingle
Fire has long been a part of North Carolina's environment. Researchers have found charcoal preserved in peat bogs, providing evidence of historical wildfires dating back hundreds of years. We also know that Native Americans practiced controlled burning, often setting fire to their fields after harvest to return nutrients to the soil. This was adopted by European settlers, and prescribed fire has been used across our landscape for the most part since then.
