Free Prescribed Burn Workshop Coming to Mound City Area

A free prescribed burn workshop is coming to the Mound City area.

The Missouri Department of Conservation will offer a free prescribed burn workshop from 1 to 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 6, at the Nodaway Valley Conservation Area east of Mound City.

Prescribed fire can help landowners reduce unwanted vegetation, and the burns can boost native grasses and wildflowers that enhance wildlife habitat.

Prescribed burns can also improve forage conditions in grazing or haying pastures.

Instructors will provide information on how to plan a burn, neighborhood burn co-ops, equipment, weather conditions, and safety.

All ages are welcome.

MDC, if weather permits, plans to conduct a demonstration burn.

Registration is required.
