Minnesota Prescribed Burn Association

Supporting safe and effective prescribed fire
for Minnesota landowners

A 'neighbors helping neighbors' approach to implementing prescribed fire

Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) are grassroots organizations where members share knowledge, labor, and equipment to implement prescribed fires. PBAs empower private landowners and volunteers to conduct safe and effective burns.

We support local landowners

The Minnesota Prescribed Burn Association is a statewide organization committed to helping local landowners access prescribed fire training, cooperatively implement burns, and form their own Prescribed Burn Associations.
