Some Featured Projects
Reviving Cultural Burning in the Lockyer
Funded by Landcare Australia, auspiced by the Wirrinyah Gurrnung Aboriginal Corporation and in partnership with the National Firesticks Alliance, we conducted a small scale cultural burning project. We put out an expression of interest to Lockyer Valley landholders to conduct site assessments on their property. We then decided on a top four based on accessibility, amount of fuel loads and readiness. Three of these properties were neighbours and the fourth property was on the same road. The team prepped, burned and did post monitoring at the sites. It was a great way to build capacity within the team and connect with private landholders. We hope to continue this work on a larger scale in the future, pending funding opportunities and support.
