Hotspots is running a workshop series in Tallong.

Landholders from the Tallong areas are invited to attend a 2 day program to increase knowledge and participate in fire management planning for their property, enhancing asset protection, maintaining biodiversity and protecting cultural values.

Based on best available science and operational knowledge, the Hotspots Fire Project is a NSW training program which provides landholders and land managers with the skills and knowledge needed to actively and collectively participate in fire management planning and implementation for the protection and enhancement of biodiversity conservation.

The workshops are principally aimed at landholders with property containing significant areas of native vegetation and have a bush fire risk in the Tallong area.
