Seasonal burning probably is carbon neutral.
Burning forests, not so much (at least by standard definitions of carbon neutral). 'Carbon neutral' requires a reference frame; we usually mean from the perspective of the people doing the carbon releasing. If you burn a forest that you planted, you are carbon neutral. If you burn a forest that has been there for centuries, you are not carbon neutral.
