Notes/Activity

Supplemental Information: Smoke is one of the items identified in the NASF Prescribed Fire survey (2012) as a barrier to using more controlled burning in the Region. Smoke best management practices need to be part of training, widely distributed to current burners, and included as part of the professional assistance within private land management programs.
