Students investigate fire management approaches taken in Australia’s Northern Territory. Drawing on research from 20 years of cultural burning and fire management practices in the Northern Territory, students will summarise and communicate the features and outcomes of this approach. By presenting to, and discussing with their peers they will be challenged to consider how these practices can be applied to their own local areas.
