Two prescribed rangeland burn workshops are scheduled Jan. 20-22 and Feb. 24-26 at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Sonora. The workshops will help individuals develop a plan and conduct a burn on the ranch. Fire characteristics, dangers, benefits and equipment will be discussed, said Ray Hinnant, senior research associate with the Experiment Station and one of the workshop instructors.
Participants will observe a wide variety of rangelands either depleted or covered by unwanted brush, areas that are in the process of being restored, and rangeland that has been restored by fire and management. Most of the workshops will be spent in the field learning and observing in small groups.The cost for each workshop is $395. Lodging and meals will be provided.
Separate sleeping arrangements will be available for men and women, with limited space available for couples. For more information, go to the Web at http://rangeweb.tamu.edu/arm or phone (979) 845-5580.
