Eco Burn Education Project
|
Bushfires have been shaping the landscape for millions of years and are a common component of the Mid Coast region. Our natural and built environment has been threatened and impacted by bushfire in the past, and this will continue to happen especially while climate change puts even more pressure on the environment. Because of this, Mid Coast 2 Tops has designed our Eco Burn Education workshop series. Aiming to give our community knowledge in bushfire ecology, risk management and property protection. Fire can be used as an important management tool to protect and work with our landscape. The Eco Burn Education program aims to teach landholders about using fire to manage their property for biodiversity conservation and protect their assets. The basis of the program is around different types of native vegetation found in the region and what the appropriate fire regimes are for them. |

The Eco Burn Education team recognises and appreciates its funding contributors: Resilience NSW and the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Funding Program and its partners; Rural Fire Service, MidCoast Council, Hunter Local Land Services, Nature Conservation Council and HotSpots Fire Project. |

This program was taught through workshops held around the region. The workshops involved an introduction into fire ecology including fire regimes, creating a fire management plan and steps on how to implement this plan on your property. Resources available at the workshops and on our website include a workbook, property maps and other electronic factsheets, guides and case studies.
