Please join the Minnesota and Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Councils for the 2026 Wisconsin-Minnesota Prescribed Fire Conference on January 9 and 10, 2026 at Winona State University! This event aims to bring together a diversity of fire practitioners, academics, and enthusiasts to network and share knowledge across state lines. The first day (Friday) features optional workshops (Burn Plan Writing, Prescribed Fire and Grazing) followed by each state’s Prescribed Fire Council Annual Meeting and a social dinner and night out in Winona. The second day (Saturday) continues with keynote speakers, presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions covering a range of topics including fire ecology in different landscape types, prescribed burn associations, cultural uses of fire, communicating about fire, and climate trends. Find out more and register on the conference website. Please register by Dec. 30. Direct any questions to [email protected].

The conference is also seeking sponsorships - if your organization is interested in supporting this event, please reach out to [email protected].
The Minnesota Prescribed Fire Council has been working hard behind the scenes in 2025, with the freshly minted 2025-2029 Strategic Action Plan, new logo, and formalization as a state non-profit organization and inaugural Board of Directors. This coming year we hope to grow our community of practice and develop more active committees and task forces for training, events, outreach, and more. It is an exciting time to get involved and help shape the development of our state's Prescribed Fire Council. The conference on January 9-10 will be a valuable networking and relationship building opportunity for Minnesota's prescribed fire community as well as with our Wisconsin neighbors. We hope you can join us!
