KLICKITAT — On May 9-11, the grassroots organization Mt. Adams Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) hosted its second annual Lean & Burn Prescribed Fire Workshop in Klickitat, Wash. The free event aimed to educate and teach small private landowners and community members on a wide range of fire-related topics with classroom sessions and hands-on practice.
“We want people to better understand why this landscape needs fire. And we need them to understand that it can be safe and cost-efficient,” said Sarah Allaben, fire adapted communities coordinator at Mt. Adams Resource Stewards (MARS).
