Placer Prescribed Burning on Private Lands

Forest health · Free, from Placer Resource Conservation District

The district's Prescribed Burning on Private Lands programme. Prescribed burning is planned, controlled fire, lit deliberately under chosen conditions to take fuel off the ground before a wildfire finds it. This is the route for a Placer County landowner who wants that done on their own ground, at no charge.

The district's aim is to put the match in your hand rather than to come and burn for you: the programme trains and equips landowners to run low complexity burns on their own ground. What is on offer is technical help on preparing the burn unit, reducing the hazards, getting through the permits and matching the burn to what you want from the land, plus the Rx Fire 101 workshops on liability, permitting, safe lighting and how native plants respond to fire. Every workshop comes paired with a demonstration burn so you see it done before you do it. There is a county burn plan template and a field guide to work through first. Where this comes from
