PHOTO CAPTION: Acacia melanoxylon (Australian Blackwood) is common throughout the Bass Coast Landcare Network area. Like many native trees, the tree is adapted to bushfires. Less well known is its ability to slow the movement of bushfires, providing a barrier which might help stop fires from spreading in fire wise farms and gardens The Bass Coast Landcare Network is excited to announce the commencement of an exciting new project, ‘Promoting and demonstrating Fire Wise planning and implementation in the Bass Coast’.
The Fire Wise project will engage community members and local groups from across the Bass Coast Landcare Network area. It 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.
