Fire has played a critical role in the evolution of the Australian landscape. Natural processes such as lightning strikes, together with the traditional burning practices of Indigenous Australians have molded and changed our landscape over millions of years.
As part of its work within the Moreton Bay Ramsar Wetland (funded by the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program), Healthy Land & Water is working with local Traditional Owners (Kabi Kabi and Joondoburri people), the Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Vegetation Management Services, and Turnstone Archaeology to reconsider the role of fire in the culturally rich landscapes of Bribie Island.
Healthy Land & Water recently joined forces with local catchment groups and Habitat Brisbane volunteers to plant more than 500 trees, shrubs and ground covers along a section of Enoggera Creek in Davidson Street Park, Brisbane.
Healthy Land & Water, Seqwater, and Griffith University have teamed up to give the Australian Lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) a helping hand by restoring their critical breeding habitats in the Brisbane River.
Supported by the Australian Government’s Wildlife and Habitat Bushfire Recovery Program, Healthy Land & Water started two bushfire recovery projects in April.
Healthy Land & Water, in partnership with the Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA), has recently completed installing another 22 Environmentally Friendly Moorings (EFMs) in Jacobs Well and Steiglitz (Cabbage Tree Point).
