GILLESPIE
COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT #220
Gillespie County, Texas

Gillespie Prescribed Burn Association
GPBA History
The Gillespie Prescribed Burn Association (GPBA) was
formed in February 2005 with the help of the Gillespie Co. SWCD and
NRCS. The NRCS District Conservationist and Gillespie County Extension
Agent serve as advisors to the GPBA Board of Directors. The
organization's purpose is to give landowners a safe, economical way to
control cedar, prickly pear, and mesquite on their private lands through
prescribed burning. A comprehensive “Prescribed Burn Plan” form has been
developed for members' use.
The GPBA is a chapter of the Edwards Plateau
Prescribed Burn Association (EPPBA), which was formed in Sonora, TX in
1997. GPBA membership dues are $25 per year and this includes
membership in EPPBA. Dues are
payable the first of each calendar year. Members go through extensive burn
training to insure safe and effective results with prescribed burns.
After essential training, members may share equipment, labor, and knowledge
in performing prescribed burns.
