HARTVILLE, Mo. – Landowners in Wright County have an opportunity to learn to use prescribed fire as a land management tool at a free prescribed fire workshop offered by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
The Prescribed Fire Workshop will be offered in Wright County on Tuesday, February 11 from 6 to 9PM at Laclede Electric Co-Op at 5900 MO Highway 5 in Hartville.
Prescribed fire is an ancient technique used to manage grasslands, woodlands, and old fields for forage production and improvement of wildlife habitat. It helps clear the forest floor of dead debris that can fuel wildfires.
The workshop will include classroom discussion on methods, equipment, safety, and why and when to use fire as a management tool.
