Restoring Open Ecosystems with Ecological and Cultural Fire - Managers

Zero Emissions Byron

Professional development training for agencies and managers to bridge traditional fire practice with contemporary ecological restoration

28 Tennyson St

Good Fire is beneficial to biodiversity and applied under the right conditions it is cool, controlled and staged in mosaic patterns over multi-year intervals.Awareness of the need to restore cool controlled burning is growing but its implementation of on-ground burning is hindered by a limited understanding of the ecological and cultural values of Fire Country and how the absence of fire threatens them.This training will increase your awareness of culturally appropriate approaches to caring for Country through cultural fire and restoration techniques used by Indigenous fire practitioners. It will increase your understanding of the ecological processes of open ecosystems and the crucial role of Good Fire in their regeneration, maintenance, and protection from destructive wildfires.Held in Byron Shire on a property with a Good Fire Restoration Plan, this training program consists of 1-day of presentations and on-country learning (May28th), 1/2-day cultural burn (June 4th or 11th) and 1/2-day post-burn follow up (Oct tbc). Placements for this training are limited to 15ppl so please limit 2 tickets per organisation/agency.
