The Southern Blue Ridge Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) began in 2018. The objective of this two-week program is to facilitate peer-to-peer learning amongst prescribed fire professionals and others interested in advancing their understanding of innovative tools to help restore fire-adapted ecosystems. Participants learn, practice, and share knowledge, skills, and experience through experiential learning. This is a unique training environment focused on communications and community outreach, prescribed fire monitoring, prescribed fire use, and operational assignments of planning and implementing ecologically-based prescribed fire. SBR TREX is an equal opportunity provider.

The Southern Blue Ridge TREX is a collaborative partnership that services the needs of multiple agencies, including federal and state agencies, contractors, and NGO's, while at the same time incorporating local values in order to advance the right kinds of capacity in the right places.
