This event is an introduction to prescribed fire to educate landowners on the safe and effective use of fire as a land management tool. Topics that will be covered include fire ecology, using fire to maintain wildlife habitat, writing a prescribed burn plan, liability, personal protective equipment and tools. Safety while using fire will be a top priority. People that own larger properties (over 40 acres) that are interested in using fire as a management tool to support wildlife habitat are encouraged to attend. This event is sponsored by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Quail Forever and the Arkansas Forestry Association.
