Interesting in learning how to help with prescribed burns or do burns on your own property?
The Lands Council is hosting a Learn and Burn event in Stevens County on April 29. This event is open to landowners and members of the public interested in volunteering to support capacity for prescribed burning on private property. Prescribed burns are weather-dependent, and although we are planning for this event on April 29, this is subject to change. A follow-up email with further details will be sent to all those who sign up.
Educational opportunities may include learning about site preparation, firing patterns, weather/prescription, importance of holding (keeping the fire where you want it), post fire mop up, tools and equipment, and permits and burn plans.
All participants should wear leather boots, non-synthetic clothing such as cotton or wool, and bring leather gloves if possible. Lunch and coffee will be provided.
