Please see below for an invitation from a graduate student at North Carolina State University to participate in a research survey designed to understand the impacts of changing prescribed fire windows. We’re sharing this survey to support research that could help southeastern US fire managers and landowners with future fire management decisions. If you have questions about the survey, please see the contact information below.
Dear Prescribed Fire User,
I am a graduate research assistant in the department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at NC State University and I am recruiting prescribed fire users in the Southeastern U.S. for a brief survey. We are investigating burners’ needs, options, and concerns if faced with a reduction in opportunities to conduct burns under acceptable weather conditions.
If you use or oversee the use of prescribed fire on land in the Southeastern US and are 18 years of age or older, you may choose to participate in this study. You will be asked to take an online survey that should take about 7-10 minutes to complete. Survey responses will be anonymous, analyzed in aggregate, and serve as the primary data for this research project. All data will be secured on an NCSU-owned cloud drive and will be password protected.
This research is overseen by my faculty advisor, Dr. Fernando Garcia Menendez, and has been approved by the NCSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) under study number: 25159.

Thank you in advance for your time and help with this important research project. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact me by email at [email protected].
