How To Plan A Burn: Landholder Workshop | Tara

This practical workshop has been designed as the next step in property fire management planning.

The event is intended for landholders who are interested in taking steps to use fire as a management tool on their property, whether they have already developed a property fire management plan or not. This workshop is an interactive, outdoor walk-and-talk where we will demonstrate the concepts and build your understanding while looking at how it all fits together in the bush.  

Attendees will be taken through:   

• The decision-making process required to determine an appropriate burn area.   

• Understanding regulations and permits.  

• On-ground preparation required.  

• The impacts of weather, slope and vegetation (including weeds).  

• Fuel hazard assessment techniques.  

• Ignition techniques.  

• Essential safety protocols and landholder responsibility.

  
  

Come prepared:

• Long pants, long sleeves.  

• Reusable water bottle.  

• Hat.  

• Sunscreen.  

• Bushwalking gaiters (if you have them).  

• Rain jacket (if necessary).
