Studies to determine the feasibility of using prescribed fire to prevent fire in the forests of northwestern Chihuahua were initiated in 1982 at an experimental level. These studies have resulted in valuable information on the importance of prescribed fire in protecting and, at times, enhancing forest resources. It is anticipated that the information obtained from these studies will be useful to the Secretariat of the Environment, Natural Resources and Fish in carrying out their assigned responsibilities and operations.
