This two-week workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and training required to develop and implement prescribed burn plans with a focus on setting ecological objectives, assessing burn complexity, assessing resource needs, contingency planning, managing smoke, prescribed burn execution, and post-burn follow-up.
Burn operations will be focused on The Nature Conservancy’s Hart Prairie Preserve, with additional opportunities for collaborative burning on private, City of Flagstaff and federal lands.
Participants will learn about how local land managers are using wildfire to meet resource objectives, and how mechanical fuel treatments integrate with local, state and federal fire management programs.
