2025 Central Oregon TREX

May 5 - May 16

To apply to the 2025 Central Oregon TREX program, please complete this online form. The application should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

Completed applications are DUE NO LATER than February 7, 2025. Selections will be announced by March 1st.

The objective of the two-week Central Oregon TREX program (May 5th – 16th), hosted in Bend, Oregon, is to facilitate peer-to-peer, experiential learning for prescribed fire professionals and others interested in advancing their understanding of prescribed fire use to restore fire-adapted ecosystems. Participants will learn, practice, and share knowledge, skills, and experience in a unique, hands-on training environment focused on the ecological, social, communications, monitoring, and operational dimensions of planning and implementing ecologically based prescribed fire.

This is an intensive 11-day program that may require participants to be physically active over consecutive days of live-fire training. We are only accepting applicants that are available to fully participate for the duration of the program.

The cost to participate is $300, due upon acceptance to the Central Oregon TREX program.

If the participant fee poses a significant financial hardship, a limited number of scholarships are available thanks to the support of The Nature Conservancy (TNC). If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please indicate so in the option provided in the application form. The majority of training costs (housing for non-local participants, meals, training materials, training cadre and instruction, and local resources) are covered thanks to generous support from the Fire Learning Network (FLN), TNC, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Please note, each participant or their employer is responsible for all paid and vacation time, including overtime, accrued during TREX. Participants must inform supervisors of the training schedule, hours (approx. 10-12 hours/day), costs, make any logistical and administrative arrangements regarding pay prior to arrival, and have supervisor approval to participate in TREX.
