Yosemite Gateway Prescribed Burn Cooperative

What Are Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs)?

PBAs are cooperative networks of local landowners, community members, community-based organizations, and agency partners working together to conduct prescribed burns. The organizational structure of a prescribed burn association can help landowners overcome challenges and barriers to using prescribed fire as a tool for land management. 

About the Yosemite Gateway Prescribed Burn Cooperative

The Yosemite Gateway Prescribed Burn Cooperative (YGPBC) is a prescribed burn association operating in Mariposa and Madera counties.

Yosemite Gateway Prescribed Burn Cooperative's mission is to enhance the wildfire resilience of local communities and protect our region's many natural and cultural resources by creating greater capacity and social acceptance for prescribed fire in Mariposa and Madera Counties.

We are local landowners, community members, community-based organizations, and agency partners working together to conduct prescribed burns throughout Mariposa and Madera Counties. We bring people together to conduct prescribed burns by pooling resources, assisting with planning, permitting, prep work, and implementation, and providing training opportunities.
