Certified Prescribed Burn Manager (CPBM) programs provide accessible and structured prescribed fire training in 24 states. This webinar from the Southwest Fire Science Consortium will provide an assessment of CPBM programs across the country based on interviews with representatives from 43 states. Those 43 states include states with existing CPBM programs, developing programs, and no programs. Please join us to examine national trends, highlight shared challenges and innovative approaches, and offer recommendations for supporting the safe and effective use of prescribed fire through certification.
