We are a group of landowners who wish to promote the safe use of prescribed burning (PB) to slow the spread of woody encroachment on our grasslands in the Missouri, James, and Vermillion River watersheds. We collectively can help like-minded landowners achieve their own prescribed burns. We work closely with NRCS staff who are a knowledgeable and helpful resource.
Who’s Eligible?
(1) Have land in SEDPBA target territory (2) Have homeowner insurance coverage for liability protection (3) Be willing to undergo training about prescribed burning (4) Be willing to help (equipment and fire assistance) other members with their prescribed burns (5) With our help, serve as your own “fire boss” to prepare and execute a well-designed fire plan.
