This hands-on workshop gives you the tools, techniques, and confidence to measure what fire actually does to the land over time. Whether you are working in forestry, restoration, prescribed fire, or wildfire risk reduction, understanding long-term fire effects is essential to planning better burns and proving success.
You will learn how to design permanent plots, collect repeatable data, and interpret changes in fuels, vegetation, and soils that emerge months and years after a burn. Built around real-world examples and grounded in professional practice, this course will help you connect fire behaviour with outcomes, and use that knowledge to improve your next land management or burn plan.
Through guided field-based discussion and practical exercises you’ll be able to:
Explain the purpose of fire effects monitoring and describe different monitoring levels.
Identify first- and second-order fire effects in the field.
Develop clear monitoring objectives that support burn plan goals.
Select and apply appropriate monitoring protocols for vegetation, fuels, and site conditions.
Lay out plots and collect accurate field data using standard tools and forms.
Use results to evaluate outcomes and improve future burn planning
