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

This is a 2-part introduction to the safe use of prescribed fire for Missouri land managers consisting of online and in-person portions. At the field portion, we will be conducting a prescribed burn on a nearby property, TBD. Please dress accordingly with leather boots, leather gloves, pants and long sleeve shirt made with natural fibers (like cotton - no synthetics), and safety glasses. Participants will learn about burn equipment, burn line installation, safe weather parameters, ignition operations, and other techniques to safely conduct a prescribed burn.. Upon registration, participants will be emailed a link to the virtual/online portion of the prescribed burn course (emails are sent in the morning, M-F). The online course is a mandatory prerequisite, requiring successful completion of the course followed by a quiz. Please bring your certificate of completion to the demonstration burn. The online portion of the class will require a $25 fee to a third-party host. |
