The extent and intensity of the 2019 – 2020 bush fire season was unprecedented with approximately 5.4 million hectares burnt, equating to 7% of NSW!
The impact was catastrophic with thousands of homes and buildings destroyed, and many lives lost. The bush fires also had a significant impact on our biodiversity with estimates indicating that the habitat of 293 threatened animals and 680 threatened plants were impacted.
It is key that bush fire management is conducted to reduce bush fire risk in the future!
At Total Earth Care, we promote integrated bush fire management which aims to minimise risk to property and life whilst considering the preservation of habitat for our native fauna and flora.
For example, prior to burning, we consider it a PRIORITY to prepare the site in a manner that will protect sensitive features such as hollow-bearing trees.
We have over 29 years of experience in preparing
Integrated Bush Fire Management Plans and conducting burns within the Sydney Basin.
