The State, Private, and Tribal Forestry organization of the USDA Forest Service reaches across the boundaries of national forests to states, tribes, communities and private landowners, and is the federal leader in providing technical and financial assistance to landowners and resource managers to help sustain the nation’s forests and grasslands, protect communities from wildland fire and restore fire-adapted ecosystems. This federal investment leverages the capacity of state agencies and partners to manage state and private lands and produce ecological, social and economic benefits for the American people.

The Great Plains Fire Science Exchange exists to assist land managers and the fire community to make sound decisions based on the best possible information. Through this information-sharing process, we hope to strengthen collaboration within the fire community in the region in addition to having information available for policymakers. Those who produce fire science as well as those interested in applying the science are all welcome in the Exchange.

Fire practitioners, scientists, outreach and extension specialists, volunteers, educators and enthusiasts from the Tallgrass Prairie and Oak Savanna Region. We host webinars, discussions, field trips and more to foster knowledge sharing within our regional fire community. We use existing fire-managed areas to explore both local and regional issues related to fire management and science. We organize events for discussing research, experience, and information about fire in tallgrass prairie and oak savanna ecosystems. We quantify fire dependent areas in the region and work to establish the type of fire management needed. The Wisconsin Fire Needs Assessment addresses the question “Where is prescribed fire an appropriate tool for land management?” For more information about why and how we are conducting the Wisconsin Fire Needs Assessment, we have developed a one page summary of the project.
Information Resources
We’ll maintain a list of recently published articles, an archive of materials about planning prescribed fire operations and other information pertinent to our regional fire community
