How to Plan a Burn: Landholder Workshop | Pine Mountain

This practical workshop has been designed as the next step in property fire management planning: How to Plan a Burn. 

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.
