Summarizes a 15-year project on the feasibility of developing sharp-tailed grouse habitat prescribed burning in the aspen forests of northwest Minnesota. Vegetative structure and the relative abundances of white-tailed deer, snowshoe hares, ruffed grouse, and sharp-tailed grouse are compared on an unburned 5.2-ha control and a 5.2-ha experimental area that had been burned four times in 8 years. Includes a list of all birds seen in the two areas in spring and summer.
