Following the success of the first WTREX last fall, women and men will again explore the growing role of women in fire management, while conducting prescribed fire operations designed to advance their formal qualifications in wildland fire management and enhance their understanding of fire ecology and effects, communications and outreach, prescribed fire policy and planning, and more.
Please find attached the Fall 2017 Klamath River Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) announcement with details about the online application process, training requirements, and much more. We are excited to carry on this grassroots effort to bring good fire back to the Western Klamath Mountains through creating co-ownership of fire on our landscape.
Participants in this central Washington TREX will engage in hands-on training in the ecology of fire-adapted ecosystems, communications and community outreach, prescribed fire monitoring, operational assignments, prescribed fire use, and collaboration among a diverse array of participating individuals and organizations. Applications are due July 28.
