How do you resolve the need for more people to be involved in wildland fire in remote and rural places across our province and country? By collaborating and working with like-minded researchers, producers, wildland fire practitioners, and paradigm shifters to develop a program that both empowers and increases local capacity and resources to support provincial and territorial agencies as well as to support the application of good fire on the land. Join us in this dynamic presentation from the tip of the torch in the land of fire and ice!

The Front Range Grassland Fire Workshop aimed to increase participant’s knowledge and understanding of the ecology, behavior, risks, and management of grassfire conditions on the Front Range.
Speakers from both the Front Range and the Great Plains discussed grassland fire ecology, history, current conditions, prescribed fire and management for urban, rural, and intermix areas.

click to continue reading ExpandThe Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange (CPPFE) is an inter-agency collective established to increase knowledge sharing and training surrounding the use of prescribed fire as a management tool in Canadian prairie and parkland ecosystems. We’re here to help fire practitioners of all backgrounds, from landowners, to communities, to conservation groups and even experienced firefighters. We aim to get more fire returned safely and effectively to the prairie by providing learning and training opportunities, facilitating equipment and resource sharing, and acting as a hub for current fire science and grassland fire knowledge.
