About the event
Trentham Green Bridges FREE Planning Workshop
Following Trentham Sustainability Group’s Living with Fire Risk Forum in September, and the Trentham and District Landcare Network’s AGM, there has been considerable interest in exploring Community Based Bushfire Management (CBBM) using nature-based approaches. The State Government’s Safer Together funded Green Bridges CBBM project provides an opportunity for locals to lead a long-term initiative that is holistic, practical and evidence based.
The project, supported by CFA based facilitator, Sam Strong, aims to identify nature-based bushfire mitigation approaches tailored for the local landscape, residents and landholders by working in partnerships that considers layers of social, environmental and economic assets.
The multi-agency CBBM program has a foundation in strong, long-term partnerships between local communities, land and fire managers, researchers and other agency teams. The strength of relationships underpins this way of working together to help people live in fire prone landscapes and the uncertainties that this brings.
