Prescribed Fire Education

What is Prescribed Fire?

Prescribed Fire is the controlled use of fire under specified conditions to achieve land management objectives. It is used to reduce wildfire risk to communities, improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plants, and much more! Oregon State University's Prescribed Fire Basics catalog provides information on how and why we use prescribed fire to manage forests and rangelands. Click the picture below to visit the catalog.
