Fuels and Vegetation Education Program Homepage
Swanton Pacific Ranch's Fuels and Vegetation Education (FAVE) program educated professionals about wildfire fuel mitigation and vegetation management approaches with the goal of increasing the pace and scale of fuels and vegetation management to build a more sustainable and fire resilient landscape for every Californian.
Funded by CALFIRE's Healthy Forest Initiative and the California Climate Initiative, the FAVE program offered webinars and field-based workshops in every corner of California. The program focused on training participants to improve their understanding of using the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) with examples of successful projects in various locations. We also helped participants increase their knowledge and skill in the use of prescribed fire. We featured webinars and field trainings focused on sharing lessons learned from fuels reductions projects in many different settings.We also offered multiple California State-Certified Prescribed Fire Burn Boss Trainings (CARX) as well as pre-requisite courses.
