Join Pepperwood’s Learn and Burn (LAB) Days — hands-on training events focused on prescribed fire and fire-resilient land management. LAB Days provide regularly scheduled opportunities for community members to learn how fire can be used as a safe and effective stewardship tool. These sessions build participants’ comfort with fire, provide hands-on practice, and foster shared learning with experienced fire practitioners.
PLEASE NOTE: While anyone is welcome, these workshops demand physical exertion and may require walking up to 3 miles on steep slopes while carrying a tool. Please be honest with yourself about your ability.
What to Expect:
Each LAB Day’s activity is shaped by current weather and environmental conditions. Activities may include: pile burning, jackpot burning, broadcast burning, pile burn restoration, fire ecology walks and talks.
What to Bring:
Boots with at least 6” ankle support
Long-sleeve shirt and pants made of natural materials (cotton preferred)
Hat, leather gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses work)
Plenty of water and a lunch
