This workshop will provide basic information about how to plan and execute a prescribed burn for grassland management.

Upon registration, participants will be given a link to the online portion of the prescribed burn course. The online course is a mandatory prerequisite. Please bring your certificate of completion to the demonstration burn. DIRECTIONS: Due to a managed hunt on this area, the only access is the south entrance. From Gainesville, take Hwy 5 North, turn East on County Road 107 and travel 2.1 miles, pass the shooting range and travel an additional 1 mile to a campground. Staff will meet participants at the campground. We will be conducting a prescribed burn so please dress accordingly with leather boots, leather gloves, cotton pants, cotton long sleeve shirt, and safety glasses.
