LSFSC’s Smoke TOOLS Workshop (in-person): Monday, Feb 5, 2024
LSFSC’s Smoke TOOLS Workshop (pre-workshop) will take place on Monday, February 5th from 10:00 am -5:00 pm (with a lunch break).
Location - Fort Custer Training Center, Fort Custer Education Center, Room E177
Instructors – Trent Wickman and Alexia Prosperi, Air Resource Specialists with the Eastern Regional Office, USDA Forest Service.
Overview - Smoke management and smoke hazards are one of the most important things to plan for and manage when doing a prescribed burn, or to consider during any wildfire suppression. This is an active participation “hands-on” workshop where we will work through exercises using online smoke tools. This is a good introductory workshop for anyone – those who have not had much smoke modeling and management exposure, or as an excellent refresher for those who have had another smoke course.
Registration and Fee - There is $25 non-refundable fee to participate. Registration is required and is only open to those who also register to attend the Michigan Prescribed Fire Council’s Annual Meeting / Burning Issues Workshop on February 6-7, 2024. Space is limited to 35 in-person participants and will be on a first-come first-serve basis. Once you register you will receive an email confirmation, the required pre-work (pre-work is minimal), the agenda, and other instructions (email will come from mcgowan-stinski.1@osu.edu). If space is still available two-weeks prior to the workshop, registration will open to those not attending Burning Issues as well an announcement will be made at that time: contact info@firecouncil.org to be added to the notification list.
This opportunity provided in partnership with Lake States Fire Science Consortium and Tallgrass Prairie and Oak Savanna Fire Science Consortium.
