With summer winding down and schools starting up, we’re moving into prescribed fire council and conference season here in the southeastern US. Several PFCs have already opened registration for their annual meetings. PFC meetings are great opportunities to learn about new science, research, and tools that can improve your prescribed fire program. They’re also fun networking opportunities and a great way to find printed copies of Southern Fire Exchange fact sheets. We probably won’t make it to all of the PFC meetings this fall, but we’ll try to get to several and hopefully we’ll see you there.
