Forillon National Park of Canada

One year after the prescribed burn

• Introduction
• Several months ahead of the prescribed burn
• Several days ahead of the prescribed burn
• The day of the prescribed burn
• During the days following the prescribed burn
• One year after the prescribed burn

Thanks to the fire, the layer of vegetation on the ground will become thinner and thus more conducive to the germination of acorns. Openings in the forest cover will also allow more light to reach red oak seedlings, whose growth will be stimulated as a result.
