Landowner Resources

If you want to hire a contractor to burn your property, view our list of contractors. If you are interested in conducting burns yourself or finding neighbors to burn with, view the resources below.

The best way to start exploring fire management on your property is through our Introduction to Prescribed Fire course. Designed with landowners in mind, this program provides a comprehensive background on prescribed fire as well as equipment demonstrations and hands-on fire experience, helping to inform future land management decisions. View upcoming training opportunities on our events page.
