Prescribed burn association – introductory meeting 

On Saturday, March 3rd, there will be a meeting at the Kellerton Community Center from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. for those interested in joining a prescribed burn association (PBA). Iowa State University and the Southern Iowa Oak Savanna Alliance are working together to facilitate landowner-to-landowner cooperation to improve and increase the use of prescribed fire as a land management tool in the southern Iowa region. An efficient and effective way to encourage the use of fire on the landscape is by creating a PBA.

Even if you are uncertain about whether you would like to get involved with a PBA, you are welcome to attend the meeting to understand what participation in a PBA would entail and how participants benefit from joining a PBA.

Please R.S.V.P. by Saturday, February 25th at admin@siosa.org or by calling Gregg Pattison at 641-784-5356.
