The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites landowners to a prescribed burn workshop Aug. 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on private property near Williamsburg.
Prescribed burning can be a valuable tool for managing native plant diversity and controlling undesirable vegetation, but it can be dangerous and ineffective when not used properly. This workshop will provide basic information on how to plan and execute a prescribed burn for land management.
Registration for this event is required and can be done at
http://short.mdc.mo.gov/4tc. Upon registration, participants will be asked to complete the virtual/online portion of the prescribed burn course. This online course is a mandatory prerequisite to the workshop, and there is a $25 fee to complete the online training. Participants are asked to bring their certificate of completion to the workshop. To find the online learning portion, go to

Weather permitting, a demonstration burn will be conducted during the workshop. Participants are asked to wear a long-sleeved shirt, and pants made of natural fibers, leather gloves, and closed-toed, leather boots.
