Restoring Landscape Resilience: A Conversation with Paul Hessburg

How can we manage our landscapes to prepare them for an uncertain future? Join the Mt. Adams Prescribed Burn Association and Dr. Paul Hessburg to tackle these questions and many more.
MAPBA Quarterly Member Meeting
Summer quarterly member meeting at Nate & Betsy Putnam’s home in Glenwood.
Learn & Burn Workshop
Join us for our second annual Learn & Burn workshop on May 9-11, 2024 (Thurs-Sat) at the Klickitat Community Center in Klickitat, WA!
We have a great agenda in the works, covering fire ecology, weather and fire behavior, planning and permitting, smoke management, firing patterns, and more. There will be significant time each day devoted to hands-on practice, and the event will culminate (weather permitting) with a burn day on May 11th. https://forms.gle/BBbabeKeC1ZuimdK6

Burn Plan Writing Workshop
We're hosting a (free!) burn plan writing workshop on Saturday, March 16th at the Glenwood Grange. More information and registration at this link.
No prescribed fire experience is required to attend. However, this workshop is targeted toward private landowners/managers seriously considering using prescribed fire on their properties. The agenda will include presented material, field time at a burn unit, and unstructured time for folks to work on their own projects (and ask any specific questions) alongside instructors and peers.
MAPBA Quarterly Meeting
Our spring 2024 quarterly meeting will be held at Ekone Ranch in Goldendale (401 Ekone Rd). We’ll spend some time walking through Ekone’s planned burn unit, then have a discussion about the leadership and membership structure of our new PBA. Food provided! Please email sarah@mtadamsstewards.org to RSVP.
