Who should contribute?
We are seeking presentations from evidence-based research, operational or on-ground programs/projects as well as the knowledge and understandings of people and communities.
We welcome presenters from agencies, practitioners, Traditional Owners, academics, community groups, land managers or individuals (affiliated with a group or supported by their community).
Theme:
The conference theme is ‘Can we burn to learn? Sustaining people, nature and Country’. Why do we choose to burn and, when and how can we best gain wisdom from using fire in different vegetation types to protect what we most care about. With the impacts of recent fires still imprinted on us and the ongoing certainty of future fires, now is an opportune time to test how we best work with fire, to re-think why we burn and evaluate what we are aiming to achieve.
Subthemes:
- Mountains to Coast
- Rolling Hills to Deserts
- Horizons
