According to the County Administrative Board in Kronoberg, this year's grass burning has started. The board began the season last week. Today, Husebymaden in Alvesta was scheduled for grass burning.
Grass burning is done on pasture and former arable land in nature reserves to promote the growth of local plant species. The burning gives the species space to grow, and the ash from the burning acts as nutrition. Plants such as cowslip, bird's-foot trefoil, cat's foot, and meadow saxifrage benefit from grass burning.
There are always risks.
However, despite many benefits, grass burning can also be dangerous, especially now when SMHI warns of a high risk of grass fires. Recently, there has been a high risk of grass fires. " The exact safety protocols followed during these burnings are not detailed.
It is unknown how many grass burnings are planned for this year in Kronoberg. The practice aims to maintain ecological balance in the region's nature reserves.
We have secured around the object and watered so that there should not be any spread.
