What will we see after the burn is completed/How fast will the area green-up again?

Immediately after the burn, the ground will be black. With adequate moisture, there is generally new plant growth within one to two weeks. In some instances, supplemental seeding is performed at this time to improve vegetation quality, increase the quantity of flowers, and the long-term stability of an area.
