Abstract
  • Prescribed Fire Councils (PFCs) are different than Prescribed Burn Associations.

  • A regional void of PFCs exists in the northern Rockies and northern Great Plains.

  • We interviewed 14 founding members of the Wyoming PFC to understand their motivations.

  • Three themes were identified: 1) collaboration, 2) constraints, and 3) public perceptions.

  • There is a need for cross-boundary engagement and strategies for dealing with narrow burn windows.
