Washington Prescribed Fire Council
The Council is the nexus for moving forward and promoting prescribed fire as a forest restoration and land management tool. Some of the Council's work over the past few years has focused on: -- Increasing prescribed fire training opportunities, including through the TREX model. The Cascadia TREX in the fall of 2017 was the first TREX in Washington. -- Promoting prescribed fire and smoke outreach and local community engagement. -- Increasing opportunities for prescribed burns on private lands. -- Working with local, state, federal, and tribal partners on collaborative, cross-boundary projects.
