Equally, a lack of fire can create an unbalance, and sometimes restrict recruitment of plants.
Bush Heritage employs a dedicated National Fire Team which supports Reserve Managers, Ecologists and Aboriginal Partnership Managers to implement fire management work safely and effectively.
Activities include staff training, site-specific fire management and response plans, creating fire breaks, managing access tracks and coordinating with neighbours.
This preparation helps us respond to and control summer bushfires, helping reduce their intensity and safeguarding ecological, cultural and built assets.
