The first day (Friday, 1/9) features optional workshops (Burn Plan Writing or Prescribed Fire and Grazing) followed by each Prescribed Fire Council’s Annual Meeting and a social dinner and night out in Winona. The second day (Saturday, 1/10) follows a traditional conference format with keynote speakers, presentations, and panel discussions covering a range of topics including fire ecology in different landscape types, prescribed burn associations, cultural uses of fire, communicating about fire, and climate trends.
We strongly encourage registering before December 9 in order to take full advantage off all conference offerings including workshop registration (limited capacity), Fire Council hotel room blocks, and conference t-shirt pre-orders.
