The next Brisbane Bushwalkers Club meeting will take place at 07:30PM on Wed 11th February 2026.
Presentation - Fire management in Open Forests by Dave Kington
Why are our forests closing in?
The talk will be focussed on open forest fire management and relates to open forest everywhere. Dave has worked in fire management for over 50 years and will reflect on a series of examples from his experience.
The talk will focus on structural change in forest country following cessation of frequent use of low intensity fire. Also the part this plays in eucalypt dieback. The loss of grassy understory and the change to accessibility associated with that.
