Survey for Master’s Project about Prescribed Fire and Cultural Burning
Prescribed Fire and Cultural Burning Survey
The goal of this survey is to collect data about the attitudes and experiences of fire personnel and practitioners in regard to their work and knowledge in prescribed fire and cultural burning. This study is being conducted by Ashleyann Bacay, a master’s student in the Interdisciplinary Studies: Wildland Management program at California State University, Chico, with the help of her advisors Jesse Engebretson and Don Hankins.
You have received this survey because you have been identified as someone who has prescribed fire and/or cultural burning experience. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this survey.
Your responses will be used to analyze and provide valuable insight into how attitudes and experiences reflect and inform the implementation and practice of policies, legislation, and programs regarding prescribed fire and cultural burning activities in California. All responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You may request a personal copy of your responses to be sent to you at the end of the survey.
You will also have the option to enter in a drawing to win one of fifteen $10 gift cards. This drawing will take place a week after the survey closes on 06/06/2022. Winners will be notified by email. Your odds of winning will be dependent on the number of survey participants. Even though you may provide your email address in order to receive a copy of your survey results and/or entering the drawing, your responses will not be matched with your email address.
If you have any questions about the survey, please email Ashleyann Bacay at abacay@mail.csuchico.edu or email her advisors Jesse Engebretson (jengebretson@csuchico.edu) and Don Hankins (dhankins@csuchico.edu).
