Prescribed Fire and Air Quality: exploring 3 local efforts to align public health and land mgt goals

The purpose of this webinar according to the host, ‪@WestGovOrg‬, is for participants "to learn about the ongoing work focused on aligning land management and public health goals for prescribed fire. These efforts are the product of the Wildland Fire and Air Quality Coordination MOU signed in 2023 by the USDA, DOI, EPA and CDC."
Thank you for attending WGA’s recent webinar, “Prescribed Fire and Air Quality: exploring three local efforts to align public health and land management goals” hosted in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We hope you found the discussion insightful as we explored the intersection of land management and public health, and how coordinated efforts can enhance the effectiveness of prescribed fire practices.
