Interest in prescribed burning is growing, as across the U.S. the practice is recognized for reducing fuel buildup, improving ecosystem health, and supporting community resilience and conservation efforts. However, the accessibility of prescribed burning as an option for private landowners varies widely across the West and across Oregon.

This webinar will help landscape architects, land managers, and private property owners to understand their options for implementing prescribed burning on private property and empower them to take steps towards using fire as a management tool in appropriate settings.
