COLUMBIA, Mo.–The Missouri Department of Conservation and University of Missouri’s Bradford Research Center are presenting a prescribed burn workshop for landowners on Saturday, March 9. The workshop will be held at the Bradford Research Center in Columbia from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Workshop topics will include safety, proper methods and techniques for controlled burns, burn equipment, use of prescribed burns as a tool for land management and developing burn plans.
“It is a great opportunity for landowners to be introduced to prescribed burns as a management practice to improve and maintain wildlife habitat,” said John Knudsen, private lands division regional supervisor with MDC. “It offers participants an opportunity to learn in a classroom setting and observe that knowledge being applied in a real-world setting.”
Lunch will be provided, followed by a demonstration burn conducted by MDC staff, if weather permits.
Registration is required by Wednesday, March 6. To register, contact John Knudsen at 573-815-7901, ext. 3483.
