The one-day, field-based workshop on March 11, 2015, sponsored by NAFSE and the Southeast Massachussets Pine Barrens Alliance (SEMPBA), focused on fire in land management, one of the unique features of the Pine Barrens ecosystem. We invited participation from the spectrum of land managers at work in the Pine Barrens, including municipal, state, federal, private, and non-governmental organizations, as well as fire scientists and managers from further afield. Presentations and field tour stops examined themes in restoration, habitat management, ecological goal-setting, prescribed burning techniques, and the potential for fire planning in the future of the Pine Barrens.
