Event Description

The Central Pine Barrens is a fire dependent and prone ecosystem which experiences regular wildfires. The Central Pine Barren Prescribed Fire Program is a new interagency collaborative that is initiating prescribed fire operations within the Central Pine Barren forests for purposes of reducing the risk of wildfire, improving public safety and advancing ecological restoration. The presentation will highlight local fire ecology; locations of prescribed fire operations planned for fall 2021; where to get more information on prescribed fire operations and the proactive measures you can implement to help protect your home or business from wildfire. Commission staff will also be available to answer questions at the presentation’s conclusion.

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. You can attend this program online or via telephone. The URL and phone number for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants upon completion of registration and also one hour prior to start time.
