Michigan Prescribed Fire Model
We have developed a dynamic ecological fire needs assessment model that can be used to look at trends at multiple scales, to illustrate both site-specific management opportunities as well as regional patterns. This StoryMap breaks down the model framework, highlights regional results across the state, and connects you with the model application to explore the data.
