1. Background

The Northeast Regional Cohesive Strategy Committee Prescribed Fire Coordination Work Group and the USFS Northern Research Station are collaborating to develop materials to support implementation of prescribed fire in the Eastern Region (USFS Region 9).  We are developing a guide or handbook reference for a range of personnel involved directly or indirectly in the policymaking, planning, and implementation of prescribed fire. We need to understand your needs to ensure what we develop is useful. This survey will take 5-10 minutes and does not ask any information that could identify you. Further, all information will be reported in aggregate and not linked to an individual’s responses.
