Cultural fire management has been used for millennia in Australia by Traditional Owners to manage fire risk and restore Country.
‘Cool’ burning involves lighting small, weak fires that create a mosaic pattern as they pass through an area of land. The fire is carefully set so it can be controlled and maintain a cool temperature, to preserve grass seeds and keep the soil healthy.
“The only good fire is the right fire,” Robbie Williams said.
“Our cultural 'Cold' burning techniques remove excess fuels that can build up over time, decreasing the potential of uncontrolled wild bushfires,” Mr Williams said.
“The Earth was created from fire, and fire is what is needed to return things to as they were. The aim is to bring back what’s meant to be here. We’re trying to bring back the proper grasses,” he said.
“Everyone is a part of caring for the land. We want to show people and help the farmers.”
