After the 1994 bushfire, Willoughby City Council formed a Fire Hazard Reduction Team. Since then, pile burning which was common practice at the time has evolved into broader area burns. The planning, the preparation and the lighting of these burns have always been sympathetic to the bush and to the wildlife it supports. Today we have taken this innovation and experience to our Bushcare Volunteers whose sites are often found in the same urban/ bushland interface. Together we can demonstrate how the local community and council can meet fire hazard reduction obligations with ecological sensitivity.A National Landcare Conference 2022 poster by Willoughby Council.#NationalLandcareConference#LandcareConf22#Poster#VolunteerRecruitmentGroupManagement
