Fast, Practical, and Rooted in Real Experience

This online introductory course offers a clear, engaging introduction to fire ecology. It’s perfect for planners, practitioners, pupils and the public or anyone working with or interested in prescribed fire, wildfire, or ecosystem restoration.

You’ll be introduced to how fire shapes ecosystems, an overview of how to interpret fire effects on vegetation, soils, and fuels, and appreciate why long-term monitoring and adaptive management matter. We also walk through the basics of burn planning and include downloadable handouts, and checklists to support your work on the ground or in the office.

Whether you're new to fire or refreshing your understanding, this course is designed to get you up to speed quickly, clearly, and with information you can use right away.

FREE. Enroll as an individual or batch enroll your team or class.

Some lessons in this course use an avatars, a tool that keeps training accessible, affordable, and easy to update for those studying between shifts, travelling, or working through a busy fire season. The focus is on practical, applied learning that connects directly to fire and ecosystem management.

You’ll see concepts explained visually through avatars, alongside real examples, case studies, and field footage (most I’ve been involved with). This mix keeps the learning experience grounded, credible, and useful, helping you build the knowledge and confidence to apply what you learn to your work and studies.
