Wildland Fire Use
Wildland
Fire Use is the management of naturally-ignited fires to achieve
resource benefits where fire is a major component of the ecosystem.
Many natural resource values can be enhanced by allowing fire
to play its natural role where private property and social
values can be protected.
Wildland
fire use is allowed in portions of the Superior National Forest.
The forest is broken into three fire management zones. Wildland
Fire Use is allowed in the non-blowdown fire management zone
of the BWCAW.
