A survey was conducted in January, 2021 to assess the state of both National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) and non-NWCG prescribed fire training in the Southern geographic area. It was developed, distributed, and analyzed by a work group formed by the Southeast Regional Strategy Committee of the Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy and the Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability.
The online survey was completed by 955 practitioners, private landowners, and others within all 13 Southern states.
The complete 34 page analysis of the responses is posted, but below are some observations and recommendations.
Thanks and a tip of the hat go out to Thomas.
