Abstract

For this study, researchers conducted 54 key informant interviews across the 11 western states to investigate policy-related
barriers to prescribed fire on federal lands. In particular, they examined how laws, policies, and policy implementation
affect prescribed fire application, and identified common challenges to and opportunities for increasing application.
