Did you know that cultural burns are a traditional practice to maintain ecosystems and reduce fire hazards? We recently supported the Kaurna Firesticks Team to conduct a ‘cool burn’ at our Torrens Island site through our partnership with the Firesticks Alliance.  The Team’s work helps reconnect Kaurna people to their cultural fire traditions and supports in training the next generation of cultural fire practitioners. The cultural burns followed extensive preparation, including removing fuel load and monitoring the moisture of the soil to ensure a safe burn.    Thank you to the Kaurna Fire Team for allowing our Torrens Island team to observe and learn more about the practice. #TorrensIsland #FirstNations #Reconciliation #FiresticksAlliance
