This week, our Region 1 team trained with the IGNIS drone! This state-of-the-art tool is a game-changer for prescribed burns, making them safer and more efficient. The drone helps us increase efficiency by over 100%, enhances safety, and improves our ability to manage burns.
Approaching the fall season means it's time for campfires! 🍂🔥 Remember: 9 out of 10 wildfires are human-caused. Let's keep our forests safe. Never leave campfires unattended, and always ensure they are properly extinguished before you go. PreventWildfiresMS.com #OnlyYou
We had an awesome time at the Benton County Career Fair! It was a great day sharing info about jobs at MFC, the importance of forest management, and wildfire prevention. A big thank you to our team for helping make it a success! #MSforestry
Meet Sam Warren! Sam is an Area 12 forestry technician with the MFC, and his job is all about protecting our forests. He responds to wildfires, conducts prescribed burns, and assists landowners. "This is a very rewarding job," he says. We couldn't agree more! #MSforestry
Check out the newest Forest Legacy project, located on the Wolf River in Harrison and Hancock Counties. It is the site for Mississippi State University's Coastal Research and Education Forest. Special thanks to the great partners and funders who made this possible. #MSforestry
On Aug 8th, our wildland firefighters contained a fire in an unexpected place: kudzu. As conditions get hotter and drier, even this "vine that ate the South" can become a dangerous fuel source. Please be careful with all outdoor burning this wildfire season. #PreventWildfiresMS
If your outdoor fire becomes a wildfire, you could be liable. Learn more: PreventWildfiresMS.com #PreventWildfiresMS #OnlyYou #wildfireprevention #MSforestry
Eligible landowners in Jackson, Harrison, Hancock, George, Stone, or Pearl River counties can receive 100% cost-share support for vital forest management activities, including tree planting and invasive species treatment, through the RESTORE Grant Program! mfc.ms.gov/RESTORE
Meet Caleb Winpigler, MFC's Area 35 Forester. With seven months under his belt at MFC, Caleb's days are filled with providing expert guidance to private landowners and school districts. He helps them effectively manage their land and timber, ensuring its health and productivity.
Welcome home, Mississippi Module One! 👏 We're so proud to announce the safe return of our Mississippi Forestry Commission employees who traveled to Colorado to work the Elk Horn and Blue Ridge Fires. The crew performed a variety of crucial tasks, from mop-up to initial attack.
Australian forester Pat McCarthy is in the U.S. to study small-scale forestry. @ms_forestry recently hosted him, where he met with our MFC team, including Forest Management Chief, Todd Matthews, to learn about MS forestry programs. A great knowledge exchange!
Good news, Mississippi landowners! MFC has released a new online application for prescribed burn permits. This convenient new system makes it easier to get the legal protection you need for your forestry and agriculture burns. 🔥 👉 Apply for a permit: mfc.ms.gov/permit
Reg. 3, Area 31's Colton Ward and Gaige Kirchmayr, with the help of the Area 33 crew, are conducting a timber inventory at Theodore Roosevelt and Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuges! 🌲 This is crucial work for sustainable forest management. Great teamwork for conservation!
It's almost Fall, the perfect time to review @smokey_bear's tips! Keep campfires small and put them out completely. Never burn on windy days. Avoid parking on dry grass. Secure trailer chains to prevent sparks. Check local fire danger & restrictions. PreventWildfiresMS.com
MFC's Reg. 1 and the MSU Forestry Ext. hosted a Forestry Merit Badge Class. They shared their passion for MS's forests and helped the Scouts learn about tree identification, forest management, & conservation. We're proud to support these future stewards of our natural resources.
#NeshobaCountyFair! MS State Forester, Russell Bozeman, greeted our Board of Commissioners member, Pat Thomasson, and MS Representative Scott Bounds. Outreach Officer Chris Burnham met with fairgoers and shared valuable wildfire prevention tips and landowner services.
Welcome back, MFC's Area 41 Forest Ranger, Bill Lunsford! He recently returned from an Alaskan wildfire detail, where he served as a Heavy Equipment Boss on two different fires. The skills and experience he gained are a huge asset for MS's wildfire fighting efforts. #MSforestry
Meet Dewane Coleman, a Forest Ranger in Region 4, Area 44! 🔥 After owning his own business, his love for the outdoors led him to a career with the MFC. His advice for future foresters: "Be a good teammate and remember your training." #greenjobs #MSforestry #ForestryCareer
Last week, MFC exhibited at the Neshoba County Conservation Carnival! 🌳 We loved hosting a booth for fifth graders from Neshoba County schools. It was a pleasure to teach them about the importance of forestry and the great opportunities available in the field. #MSforestry
MFC's Region 1 is "'Staying Alive'" 🎵 🔥They completed their First Aid and CPR training, equipping and refreshing them with critical, life-saving skills. This ensures our employees are prepared for any emergency, from daily incidents to battling wildfires in the field.
