The South Central Fire Learning Network encompasses 17 sites in four ecoregions—the Ozarks, Ouachita Mountains, Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain and Interior Low Plateau—that span two states—Arkansas and Kentucky. Each site has partners collaborating in ongoing fire restoration projects that are addressing the threats posed by altered fire regimes. The SC FLN looks forward to continuing the development of the current network of fire restoration projects, as well as working with partners to develop institutionalized integrated fire
management programs in the region.
Vision
By engaging regional resource management partners and working with a core, science-based peer-learning group, the network will develop landscape-scale restoration and hazardous fuels reduction projects that return fire to its natural place in this region.
