City of Greater Bendigo, Healthy Landscapes: Practical Regenerative Agricultural Communities project, Media Release, 7 February 2022
Ecological planned burning is a land management tool applied to promote positive benefits for a local environment.
These benefits include stimulating dormant seed banks in the soil profile, reducing the vigour or eliminating weeds, nutrient cycling and the removal of biomass – all of which promote biodiversity and ecosystem health.
There are a range of factors that influence when and how an ecological planned burn can be conducted but essential to the process is a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve and how to moderate fire behaviour and extent.
Our talk will explore how ecological burning is undertaken in Local Government and how this can be applied to other contexts.
