Longleaf Legacy Landscape Viewer: The Longleaf Legacy Landscape Viewer (LLLV) is a Tall Timbers web mapping application showcasing broad potential uses for the Florida Fires database built by Tall Timbers for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The map viewer provides fire history, species habitat and land cover data generalized to a 10-acre hexgrid covering the tri-state Longleaf Legacy Landscape area. The data is best used at large scales for display and query purposes.

Policy and Regulations: Federal fire policy requires that agencies incorporate fire as a critical natural process into their land and resource management plans and activities on a landscape scale and across agency boundaries (NIFC)

Practitioner Information: If you are a prescribed fire practitioner, there is a lot of information you need to know. Luckily, if you work for an agency, much of that information will be provided to you. However, if you are new to fire, or do not work for an agency, you can find much of this information online, or gain experience by working with mentors, other practitioners, or Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) members.

Prescribed Fire Councils: Prescribed Fire Councils (PFCs) allow private landowners, fire practitioners, agencies, non-governmental organizations, policymakers, regulators, and other stakeholders to network and share information related to prescribed fire; however, the purpose of each PFC differs based on their state’s needs.

Prescribed Burn Associations: Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) are groups of landowners and other interested people who form partnerships to pool their knowledge, equipment, and other resources to conduct prescribed fires. It can be very difficult for private landowners to gain the hands-on training needed to safely and effectively use prescribed fire.
