The Nature Conservation Council of NSW is proud to present our 13th biennial Bushfire Conference – Managing Bushfire Together: applying science, skills and stories.
This year's conference will bring together representatives from all tiers of government, interstate agencies, fire services, researchers, non-government organisations, First Nations groups, restoration contractors, private landholders, students, businesses and community interest groups from around the country and beyond. With over 26 years of biennial bushfire conferences to learn from, this year's conference will continue to showcase a variety of multi-disciplinary approaches to mitigating, managing, and responding to bushfire. Academic research, applied methods, on-ground projects, traditional knowledge and more, from a range of communities and ecosystems, will all be on display. This year's conference is a unique opportunity to contribute to discussions on best fire management practices to help protect, enhance and restore biodiversity, ecosystems and communities.
