On 17th June I posted an essay from David Ward, WA, titled ‘Noongars Knew Best‘ about aboriginal management of the dry forests of the SW of Western Australia.
In this new post, which is a powerpoint presentation from David, four scenarios for bushfire management are explored.
The powerpoint is 850kbs and may only work if you save it first … Download file.
David emailed the powerpoint with a note welcoming feedback/comment/debate.
Interestingly ABC Online reported on Friday that the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service was planning a large scale hazard reduction burn at Berowra Valley Regional Park and in adjoining land west of Hornsby and Hornsby Heights. The four-day burn-off was aimed to “lessen the intensity of wild fires in summer”.
