Caring for Country with Courtney Hunter-Hebberman

Join Courtney Hunter-Hebberman, Peramangk and Ngarrindjery Custodian, as she talks about the traditional practice of Cultural Burning, also known as Cool Burning.

This Traditional Aboriginal land management technique has been utilized for over 60,000 years to mitigate fire hazards, promote the growth of culturally significant species, and safeguard native wildlife.

Cultural Burning is distinct from standard hazard reduction burning, as it generates significantly less heat and is conducted more frequently in alignment with the seasonal calendar.

This method not only preserves the environment but also fosters a deeper connection to the land and its heritage.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the profound benefits of Cultural Burning and its role in contemporary land management.
