Fire Forward, a program of Audubon Canyon Ranch, brings a unique blend of science-based program design and community organizing as we seek to grow fire-adapted communities tending fire-adapted landscapes. We are building ecosystem resilience together by teaming with private landowners, public agencies, community groups, and conservation partners for the shared purpose of developing a culture of stewardship with a focus on prescribed burning.
Reporting to the Squad Lead, the Prescribed Fire Apprentices will perform as a prescribed fire and ecosystem stewardship professional development squad to prepare and conduct prescribed burns while participating in training and workforce development courses and opportunities. The Apprentices will work alongside the Prescribed Fire Practitioner squad as a prescribed fire and ecosystem stewardship crew.
