The Longleaf Alliance’s Longleaf Academy: Fire & Longleaf F201
Fire & Longleaf is a 2½ day course designed for landowners and natural resource professionals of all experience levels interested in the use of prescribed fire in longleaf pine systems. The goals of this course are to develop lifelong students of fire and to educate land managers about longleaf-specific considerations when planning a prescribed burn.
Participants are highly encouraged to pursue the certified burner process in their home state in conjunction with taking Fire & Longleaf:F201.
Topics will include:
fire ecology
smoke management
burning young longleaf

burn planning
Weather permitting, we will incorporate a hands-on live fire demonstration.
