Prescribed Fire Management for Obtaining Your Natural Resource Objectives

Did you know that prescribed fire can help you meet your natural resource goals in more ecosystems than grassland? Kansas Forest Service will provide an introductory training of prescribed fire and its benefits to land management at the Kansas Natural Resources Conference. This training is for professionals, landowners, and managers in setting basic management goals, writing prescribed burn plans, and when to do the prescribed burn. Other topics will be specific to protecting structures and desirable trees, controlling noxious weeds and undesirable trees, issues that arise without prescribed burning and the history of forests in Kansas. Both instructors have experience in natural resources management, over 48 years of fire management service, and enjoy lively trainings and discussions.
