The mission of the North Carolina Prescribed Fire Council is to foster cooperation among all parties in North Carolina
with an interest or stake in prescribed fire. Our goal is to optimize burning opportunities for the benefit of natural ecosystems
and wildlife and to reduce the risk of damage from wildfires. This will be accomplished by encouraging the exchange of
information, techniques and experiences among practitioners of prescribed fire in North Carolina. We also need to promote
public understanding of the regional importance and benefits of prescribed fire.
Council members shall be representatives of any agency, organization, corporation, institution or private ownership with
an interest in prescribed fire and goals consistent with the council's mission.
The list of members may change over time as interested groups who support the mission of the council request membership.
