Nature Conservation Council Bushfire Conferences
2017 Conference Proceedings
Every two years the Nature Conservation Council of NSW holds its Bushfire Conference. These multi-disciplinary conferences explore how fire management can support ecological values across the landscape. As well as providing the opportunity to share on-ground experiences in using fire, conference programs focus on current thinking and new research in fire management and fire ecology, and the integration of fire with other natural area management techniques. Experts from a range of sectors present the latest scientific research, policy and planning, and on-ground project implementation.
The conferences:
- examine the interactions between fire and fauna across a range of ecosystems;
- investigate integrated approaches to managing fire, native fauna and flora, weeds and pest animals;
- discuss on-ground fire and restoration projects; and
- showcase Aboriginal burning initiatives.
NCC's Bushfire Conferences provide a unique opportunity to contribute to discussions about moving beyond current fire management approaches, and encourage and promote ideas and initiatives that help protect, restore and enhance ecological values.
NCC encourages and welcomes enquiries from researchers, practitioners and community groups who would like to present the work they are involved in at the next Bushfire Conference in 2020.
