Join us for this fun, interactive and educational 2-day workshop focusing on the Benefits of Prescribed Fire.
With recent wildfires ravaging portions of the West and the debate on forest management to control fuel loads - now is an opportune time to learn more about the benefits and uses of prescribed fire in Arkansas.
Participants will learn about forest management, fire weather, habitat restoration, creating a burn plan, tools of the trade, and - if conditions allow - observe a controlled burn demonstration.
Registration is limited to 25. Overnight lodging is NOT PROVIDED; however, tent camping on the premises with access to bathrooms and showers is available. Social distancing and State and CDC guidelines will be followed.
Registration is waived and each participant will receive a $50 stipend at the conclusion of the workshop in the form of a Walmart or Amazon gift card. Workshop includes materials, curriculum, resources, and lunch both days.
Workshops are open to all formal and non-formal educators. Participants should be aware that these workshops will involve outdoor activities requiring walking in rough, uneven terrain and sometimes in adverse weather conditions.
