Photo Libraries: Recovering from a Fire
On Brussels Farm near Vryburg,
South Africa, Dick & Judy Richardson had a fire
that burned a large portion of their ranch in August 2002.
But after two years of planned grazing their land had
recovered
with good regrowth and ground cover.
This photo taken of their property (on right) in April 2004 demonstrates
how their property compares to a neighbor's property also burned by the
fire. The Richardsons used high animal impact (500 head of cattle strip-grazed
on this 100-acre section) to jump start the land's healing process.
