Welcome to the Coastal Bend Prescribed Burn Association

"Enhancing Range and Wildlife Habitat
With Fire"

The Coastal Bend Prescribed Burn Association is a non-profit association of Texas Coastal Bend landowners and citizens whose purpose is to promote, train, and assist members and the public in the use of prescribed burning on their properties. Members participate in the burns of other members and this reciprocation pools labor, making more burns possible, especially for smaller landowners with limited labor resources.

Our goal is to enhance and protect the natural habitat of our 12 member Counties to benefit the landowners and citizens of those counties and the State of Texas.

While we officially serve 12 counties, we have members and visitors from other areas who attend CBPBA functions and prescribed burns, and such membership and participation is encouraged. The Board of Directors will also consider adding additional counties to our service area if it is requested and warranted.
