Training and openings for the Volunteer Burn Crew are on hold in 2025. Thank you for your interest, and please check back for information about the 2026 season near the end of the year.
We conduct prescribed burns in natural areas for a few weeks in early spring and fall. We rely on volunteers in this limited time frame. To join the crew, attend our annual burn crew training session, usually held in February. Participants have the chance to engage in all stages of a prescribed burn from burn prep to fire control. This is our most physically demanding activity.
