Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Burn, baby, burn?

Forester looked over my land today & said the timber was doing well, but could do even better if the underbrush were burned out this winter. Right now the pines are growing among thickets of blackberries, thistles, shrubs, and small hardwoods.

Here's my question: What would the impact be on the pond? Has anybody tried this?

I fear increased erosion, and possibly bad effects of charred runoff. But maybe this are minor matters...

Anybody done this? What was your experience?

PS At least some of the plants put in my pond two weeks ago are flourishing. Also noticed what look like small FHM in the shallows for the first time in a year!
