When Traditional Owner knowledge is incorporated into environmental science studies, powerful things happen. In late November 2025, the Quandamooka Land and Sea Rangers joined fire ecologists and researchers on Minjerribah for two days of learning, mapping, and protecting the vulnerable south-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo. By blending cultural knowledge and scientific expertise, the workshop revealed how fire shapes critical habitat and how collaboration in on-ground management as well as research can secure the future of threatened species across South East Queensland.

When neighbours work together, fire becomes an appropriate management tool. Local landholders in Queensland's Kerry district are taking control of their landscape's future, learning to use strategic burns to protect assets and build resilience. A recent Fire Management Planning Workshop brought the community together with expert support, proving that coordinated action is the key to safer, healthier landscapes.

Wrapping up a great quarter of Sustainable Agriculture events, here's what our team was up to across the region in October to December, attending events and visiting landholders.
