The Fire Wise project engages community members and local groups from across the Bass Coast and South Gippsland Landcare Network areas, and aims to improve, share, test and demonstrate our understanding of how numerous species of indigenous plants can be retained or planted in strategic locations around the built environment, to better protect our assets and enhance our local biodiversity.
The Learning Hub provides a single port of call for those interested in Fire Wise practices by engaging and collaborating with the relevant scientific community, agencies, community members and local groups. With a mix of ‘on farm’ case studies, demonstration sites, educational materials and partnership development, the project raises the profile of fire planning and ‘Fire Wise’ awareness within the South Gippsland community. This online resource will continue to evolve with the addition of new and updated content. If you wish to discuss the inclusion of new and updated content please email [email protected] |
