Brief Description:
Southern California's ecosystems are shaped by fire. Learn about fire ecology and fire safety at a training program, and take home curriculum and an interactive cd for your classroom.

Since the spring of 2001, Project Learning Tree and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in cooperation with the National Interagency Fire Center have partnered to provide joint educator workshops in wildland fire education. The workshops use selected activities from the PLT PreK-8 and Secondary Modules, as well as a variety of supplemental fire education materials developed by the BLM and other federal agencies, including the popular "Burning Issues" CD produced by the Science Education Department of Florida State University.

Find out when workshops are offered in your area on the website or by contacting the coordinator.
