Cultural Burn Event: Springhurst & Byawatha Hills Landcare Group.
Location: Nioka, 233 West Triangle Rd, Springhurst.
Friday the 4th of May, from: 11.30pm to 2.00 pm with a light lunch provided.
Want to learn more about cultural burning? The Mid Ovens Landcare Consortium and the Springhurst & Byawatha Hills Landcare Group are collaborating with local traditional owners to undertake a cultural and regenerative burn on a local property. We will be using traditional burning as a management tool. We will also give a background to cultural burning, then apply fire to an area of native woodland.
The use of fire is one of the important tools for Traditional Owners that helps care for country. We will also talk about how we can use fire to improve forest regeneration and manage fuel loads. The event is open to all, so it would be great to see you there on the day.
As this is an outdoor event, please wear suitable outdoor clothing, footwear and sun protection.
Please RSVP with Jim Blackney by 12 noon Thursday the 3rd for catering purposes.
