You’re invited to join the Forest Stewards Guild as a prescribed burn observer!
UPDATE: due to unfavorable weather conditions, this burn has been postponed until the autumn. Thank you to all of those who expressed interest in joining us, and please keep an eye on this events webpage for future burn observer opportunities!
Join us for a guided field tour of a prescribed broadcast burn and restoration work being carried out on private-owned land within the Zuni Mountains landscape. Forestry and fire practitioners will respond to your questions and share information about how the burn is being implemented, what we hope to accomplish, and the implications for resilience in the forested landscape. You may access a news release with additional details on the burn here.
If you have an interest in forest health, wildfire risk mitigation, ongoing restoration efforts, or are curious about what goes into a prescribed burn but lack the necessary fire training to be involved first-hand, please consider attending! Observers will be escorted on the burn by qualified personnel. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to register below.
DATE: tentatively April 7-8 (weather-dependent and subject to change)
SAFETY: Participants will be provided with appropriate personal protective equipment to safely visit the burn site.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST
