Subject: Next ME Prescribed Fire Council Meeting

Hi All,

We would like set a date in early January for our next full Prescribed Fire
Council meeting at the TNC Maine, Brunswick Office within the Fort Andross Mill
building located at 14 Maine Street, Suite 401
Brunswick, ME 04011 (it’s on the fourth floor.) please use the doodle poll here
https://doodle.com/poll/auduqcnk6bdfn856<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoodle.com%2Fpoll%2Fauduqcnk6bdfn856&data=02%7C01%7C%7C89adb6cc2ee5445fa04e08d773812a61%7Ced5b36e701ee4ebc867ee03cfa0d4697%7C0%7C0%7C637104870922359309&sdata=Syf93s%2BvCm5YHoilXuyQauiMuT%2F9cE1EJQjmz5XCDtg%3D&reserved=0>
to select a date and time that works best. I will reserve the conference room
for either before or afternoon if you would like to join us for an informal
lunch; all are welcome. Please reply by Friday, December 10th.

A draft agenda will be sent out once a date is selected. Please send any
additional items my way.
Thanks.

I want to share with you some exciting work that the Maine Rx Council officers
have been doing:

  *   We Are Official!
On 10/31/2019 the National Coalition of Prescribed Fire Councils officially
excepts Maine’s Prescribed counsel's membership (Check out the attached Map)
Our basic Council's information will be included in this year's Coalition
survey of its members to get a better sense of PFCs activity nationally. Our
information and web page will be included on their page.
We are now able to utilize their resources to help us put more good fire on the
ground.

  *   Our Web Page is Live! Check it out here:
https://mainerxfire.wixsite.com/merxfire<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmainerxfire.wixsite.com%2Fmerxfire&data=02%7C01%7C%7C89adb6cc2ee5445fa04e08d773812a61%7Ced5b36e701ee4ebc867ee03cfa0d4697%7C0%7C0%7C637104870922369304&sdata=lQnBY1GZYFF50DYV3WyJLPSs4BtQ4g2NFdElhymGxwk%3D&reserved=0>
If you have any great photos or information you like to share send it our way.
It’s a work in progress so any comments or suggestions are welcome.
We’re hoping to have a basic web presence for people to learn about us and our
work as a council. Pictures and videos can help tell our story to many that may
not even know about a drip torch and Rx fire.

  *   Maine TREX laying the groundwork! For fall 2020, What is a TREX? Learn

You probably have heard us talk about it. Several of us have been to one or a
few, Have participated or even lead one. Now it’s time for us to make one
happen here.
We have been investigated or options and look forward to discussing it with you
all. It will take all of us to be a success!
