Expanding training to build the prescribed fire workforce

Webinar registration.

With an issue as large as increasing the prescribed fire work force, a range of approaches have emerged to provide training for different audiences over time. Panelists will share their experience with adapting NWCG trainings to college courses, bringing the TREX model to the Canadian prairies, and using multiple formats in collaboration with partners in the eastern US, including state prescribed fire councils and NGOs.

Panelists
• Jack McGowan-Stinski, Lake States Fire Science Consortium
• Dinyar Minocher, Interagency Prescribed Fire Coordinator, Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange
• Zach Prusak, Wildland Fire Training Specialist, Tall Timbers Research Station
