Why Burn the Wetlands?

Brian;
As I read through the science pages, it seems obvious we have spent a lot of money studying the wetlands areas around the lake.

What I take from all the reports is, the wetlands need to be wet. And if they are not wet, then invasive plants take root, which then crowds-out the favorable wetland plants that invite the ducks in.

The duck clubbers and wetlands owners can deny the science all they want, but how else do they explain the need to burn their wetlands, other than to kill-off the invasive plants??

I love reading this blog. Thank you for posting everything, even from people like westsidebenny who disagree, and are disagreeable.
