Landowners are invited to a Prescribed Burn Workshop on April 24th. The program will be held in Linn County, at Fountain Grove Conservation Area. Fire 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. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will have a prescribed burn workshop from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on April 24th.
Advance registration is required and can be completed online at https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/207667.
Upon registration, you will be asked to complete the virtual/online portion of the prescribed burn course. This is a mandatory prerequisite to the workshop, and there is a $25 fee to complete the online training. You will need to bring your certificate of completion to the workshop.
