Workshop Details
Cultural Burn Awareness Workshop: November 7th-9th, 2025
The Cultural Burn Awareness Workshop is open to both the public and to fire professionals. This year, all three days of Leok Po will be held at the Cache Creek Nature Preserve.
If you are not a fire professional, but would like to participate in making and controlling fires, you should wear cotton or natural materials. Synthetic materials will melt if a spark gets on them. NO rubber-soled shoes, like tennis shoes. They can melt. It’s better to wear hard-soled shoes or hiking boots.
If you plan to stay back and stick to the trails, tennis shoes will be fine.

Friday will be the only day with Cultural Awareness Tables and Discussions with special guest speakers.
