SUMMARY:Self-Paced Online: RX-310 Introduction to Fire Effects
DESCRIPTION:RX-310 is an introductory\, self-paced online course designed to help you understand how fire interacts with various ecosystems. It’s based on NWCG standards and objectives wtih a Canadian and American lens. The course takes approximately 30 hours\, including time for online videos\, interactive exercises\, learning reviews\, and reviewing your student manual. \nBut RX-310 isn’t just for fire practitioners\, it’s also designed for biologists\, ecologists\, and land managers who want a deeper understanding of how fire interacts with ecosystems. Whether you’re focused on wildlife\, invasive species\, fisheries\, vegetation dynamics\, or cultural values\, this course offers practical\, science-based insights into the short- and long-term effects of fire across diverse landscapes.

SUMMARY:Fire Effects Monitoring Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fire is a moment. Monitoring tells the whole story. Fire ecology and fire effects are increasingly recognized as essential to effective prescribed fire\, restoration\, and wildfire risk reduction. This workshop focuses on translating fire behaviour into ecological outcomes. It helps participants deepen their understanding of how fire influences fuels\, vegetation\, and soils (and other values) over time\, well beyond the day of ignition. \nThrough applied field and classroom work\, you will learn how post-fire patterns and severity shape ecosystem response months and years after a burn. It also prepares you with monitoring that can be used to make those effects visible and measurable. The emphasis is on interpretation\, using fire effects knowledge to inform future prescriptions\, adaptive management\, and long-term land stewardship decisions. \nVisit the course page for detailed learning outcomes and the agenda. You do not need any fire experience to achieve value from this workshop.

SUMMARY:Electrofishing: Theory\, Safety and Uses
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nThis two-day certification course is an overview of electrofishing theory\, safety and practices. The program meets current provincial Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB) requirements for electrofisher certification. \nObjective \nUpon successful completion of this course\, the participant will be able to: \nDefine the practice of “electrofishing”\nDefine the electrical (operational) theory of an electrofishing unit\nIdentify and operate all components of an electrofisher\nTroubleshoot and repair common field equipment\nAdjust electrofisher settings to capture fish effectively\nManage an electrofishing crew effectively and efficiently\nManage an electrical field in an electrofishing operation\nOperate an electrofisher unit to reduce potential injuries to fish and other animals \nFormat \nClass or online: 1.0 day; Field: 0.5 day \nDay one is either a classroom-based session or online\, while day two is a field-based practicum in which participants are provided with an opportunity to operate the backpack electrofisher and apply the skills and knowledge they have gained in the classroom. \nNote: High course enrolment (e.g.\, >18) may warrant additional field practicum sessions. \nPrerequisites \nFirst aid requirements for electrofishing crews vary by province and country. In BC\, all persons involved in an electrofishing operation must have an appropriate first aid course with a CPR component that is current and valid per Workers Compensation Board requirements. While it is recommended to have first aid training prior to starting the course\, first aid training may be attended following completion of the Electrofishing Certification course. Please contact your province’s Workers Compensation Board for further information and to confirm requirements for your region. \nYou Supply \nStudents are responsible for supplying their own personal field equipment\, as follows: \nRequired \n“leak-free” chest waders: neoprene or high-quality nylon is best\nnon-slip footwear: wading shoe\, cleat or aggressive rubber boot sole\ncalculator\, pen and paper \nRecommended \nwading belt: nylon or rubber\, worn on outside of waders\npolarized sunglasses: side shields or ‘wrap around’ style is best\nhat with a visor: baseball cap style is best\nThe items noted as ‘recommended’ are optional for this training program but are mandatory during actual field work/employment.
