The Southern Blue Ridge Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) is a cooperative partnership between private landowners and land managers with support from various prescribe fire groups and agencies. The goal is to increase the use of prescribe fire in our area with a primary focus on enabling landowners and their capacity for managing fire use, and to facilitate resource and information sharing across the association. Our coverage area includes (but not limited to) Buncombe, Madison, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Caldwell, Burke, and McDowell Counties.
