Whitehorse: Prescriptions for Prescribed Fire

About

Integrated Prescriptions and Burn Planning: Professional Practice Workshop\r\nPrescriptions and burn plans are not independent documents. When they are written in isolation, ecological intent gets lost, burn plans become interpretive, and burn teams are forced to make field decisions without a clear feedback loop to improve future planning.\r\n\r\nThis three-day professional development workshop focuses on writing prescriptions and burn plans together as a single planning system. Using BC’s current provincial templates, participants learn how objectives, fire behaviour expectations, treatment layout, ignition strategy, and monitoring must align across both documents to support defensible decisions on burn day and meaningful post-burn evaluation.\r\n\r\nThe course is designed for those starting out and practitioners who already write prescriptions and burn plans, and want them to translate cleanly into operations without reinterpretation. Emphasis is placed on professional judgment, operational feasibility, and documenting fire behaviour logic in a way that supports implementation, review, and adaptive management.\r\n\r\nThe course is taught by a Registered Professional Forester, AFE Wildland Fire Ecologist, and practicing certified Burn Boss, and reflects how these documents are reviewed, challenged, and used in burn programs.
