Burning invasive plant species like the eastern red cedar after cutting them down is necessary to prevent their regrowth and spread. These plants often have strong root systems and can quickly regenerate from remaining roots or seeds in the soil. Burning helps eliminate these remnants and reduces the likelihood of new sprouts, allowing for the restoration of native ecosystems. Additionally, fire can create conditions that favor the growth of native species by improving soil nutrients and reducing competition.
