Upon registration, participants will be emailed a link to the virtual/online portion of the prescribed burn course. The online course is a mandatory prerequisite which requires a $25.00 fee to a third-party host. Registrants will need to successfully complete the online course and quiz to attend the field day event. Please bring your certificate of completion to the demonstration burn. We will be conducting a prescribed burn on a nearby property, so please dress accordingly with leather boots, leather gloves, cotton pants, cotton long sleeve shirt, 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. |
