Dear Auburn Ravine Prescribed Burn Association Members,

We are excited to announce that the Auburn Ravine Prescribed Burn Association is currently planning a member Meet & Greet event in the Lincoln area. This gathering will provide an opportunity for members, landowners, neighbors, and community partners to connect, learn more about prescribed fire, and help strengthen our growing local prescribed fire community.

As we begin planning for the upcoming fall burn season, we are also looking for volunteers interested in serving on the Auburn Ravine PBA Steering Committee. The Steering Committee helps guide the direction of the association, identify funding opportunities, support member outreach, and assist with planning future projects and burn activities.

Participation is simple and requires approximately one hour per month through a virtual Zoom meeting.

If you are interested in helping build prescribed fire capacity in Western Placer County, supporting community-led burning efforts, and helping shape the future of the Auburn Ravine PBA, we would love to hear from you.

More information about the Lincoln Meet & Greet will be announced soon.

Thank you for your continued support of safe, community-based prescribed fire.

Sincerely,

The Auburn Ravine Prescribed Burn Association Steering Team

From the Line

Building Fire-Adapted Communities, Together

The Auburn Ravine Prescribed Burn Association continues to grow as a community-driven effort to bring good fire back to the landscape. Through hands-on training, local partnerships, and neighbor-to-neighbor support, we are increasing local capacity for safe, effective prescribed fire across the region.

With two California State Certified Burn Bosses supporting our work, ARPBA helps landowners navigate burn planning, permitting, preparation, and implementation while building a stronger, more fire-resilient Auburn Ravine.
