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

Upon registration, participants will be given address to private property where field day will be held. The online course is a mandatory prerequisite. Please e-mail Maria Lommel when you register at Maria.Lommel@mdc.mo.gov so we can get you the necessary information. Please bring your certificate of completion to the demonstration burn. Weather permitting, 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. Participants will learn about burn equipment, burn line installation, safe weather parameters, ignition operations, and other techniques to safely conduct a prescribed burn. There is a $25 fee for the online portion that goes directly to the host site, not MDC. Maria A Lommel
