Private land managers show growing interest in prescribed fire in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA

Description

Though perceptions and practices around the use of prescribed fire on California’s public lands are relatively well-studied, less is known about the perspectives of private land managers, who own the majority of California’s lands. Preferred treatments, pathways, motivators, and perceived barriers to prescribed fire implementation were studied in a group of 172 participants in six “Prescribed Fire on Private Lands” workshops held by UC Agricultural and Natural Resources in the Central Sierra Nevada from 2018-2019.
