Becoming Fire wise in Bass coast field day- November 28th 2025.

​You are invited to this exciting and informative event on Becoming Fire Wise in Bass Coast with guest speaker Owen Gooding.   Recently retired, Owen has over 18 years experience with the CFA working on land use planning, planned burning, and the management of biodiversity and cultural heritage values in bushfire mitigation work. Owen was also a member of the national Task Force investigating house loss in the 2009 Victorian bushfires. 

  Owen will talk about what we know about bushfire losses and the role of
vegetation in contributing to or mitigating bushfire risk. Topics covered will include plant flammability, plant responses to fire, cultural fire use, fire ecology, climate change, and the use of vegetation plantings and soil moisture conservation to reduce fire intensity and protect assets.

This will be a fantastic interactive farm walk and we hope to see you all on the day.
