Pile Burning Workshop

Winter can be a great time for pile burning brush and other woody fuels round your home. Learning how to construct and prepare hand piles takes skill and an understanding of safety and weather considerations to minimize the risk of escape.
This two-part class will cover fundamental topics to hand pile burning such as:
• Safety and liability considerations
• Weather conditions and interpretation
• Navigating the permitting process
There will also be in-person local demonstrations for gaining hands-on skills.
Whether you have been burning piles for years or are just getting started, this class has
something for everyone. For questions, please contact Katie Low (katlow@ucanr.edu).
