Beyond the Bushfires - Preventing Destructive Bushfires

Students explore the role of traditional fire management practices in preventing destructive bushfires. They begin by thinking about the costs of bushfires on a range of factors, before exploring traditional fire management practices and looking at how these are less damaging to our environment. They read articles about these practices and share their findings in groups. Finally, they create a poster to describe how traditional fire management practices could benefit flora and fauna species affected by the Black Summer bushfires.
