Why Should I Attend?
Prescribed fire can be an important land management practice in a wide range of habitats. Grasslands, like Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) fields, idle areas on the farm, savannas, or roadsides often benefit from fire every 3-5 years. Prescribed fire requires careful planning, coordination with local authorities and neighbors, and close attention to weather patterns, and a comprehensive understanding of how prairie fires behave and what different techniques exist for their management. If all considerations are carefully planned, fire should go off without a hitch, and you should be able to reap the benefits for years to come.
