Meet Burner Bob®

Burner Bob® is a Bobwhite Quail who lives in the longleaf forest with other animal friends such as gopher tortoises, indigo snakes, and Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. He devotes his life to explaining that the longleaf forest with its many plants and animals has evolved over time to being burned on a regular basis. The forests need fire to survive and thrive so Burner Bob® shows people how to burn them safely.

Pyrodiversity Enkindles Biodiversity™

Burner Bob® and The Longleaf Alliance support prescribed fire to create healthy habitats for the plants and animals that call the longleaf ecosystem home.

Plant diversity in regularly burned longleaf pine habitats rivals the diversity in tropical rainforests. An area with a variety in fire characteristics — or pyrodiversity — will support more species of plants and, in return, more animals.
