Columbia Gorge Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX)
The annual Columbia Gorge TREX provides experiential prescribed fire training and boosts local capacity for burning on all lands.
CGTREX 2025 | September 21 - October 4, 2025
The 2025 Columbia Gorge TREX team is currently working through some funding uncertainties that have delayed our planning & application process. We are hoping to resolve this by early June, and, if all goes well, we plan to release applications by mid-June at the latest. We will update this site and send out additional information at that time.
Thank you for your patience! If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to sarah@mtadamsstewards.org or emery@mtadamsstewards.org.
You can find additional details about the TREX program, including our past CGTREX event reports, linked below.
More about TREX
The TREX model originated in the Great Plains over 15 years ago to address critical prescribed fire training bottlenecks, and has since spread around the country and world. MARS hosted the first Columbia Gorge TREX in fall 2023, providing quality training to over 30 participants, supporting 170+ acres of prescribed burning on public & private lands, and strengthening local partnerships.
