Encourage the Grasses to Come Back

“When a fire moves over the grass, it burns quick and when it burns quick the fire moves quick up on the sand, which is really important not to overcook the seeds in this soil. But when you get fire that comes through at the wrong temperature, at the wrong time and flame heights as big as ten metres, you’re just killing the soil. And that sand can’t handle that heat and those seeds are getting roasted…You’re not activating the soil. The only way to do that is to put the right fire, at the right time and burn it, clean it up and also encourage grasses to come back. So, the more of these grasses we get, the better speed this fire’s going to move at, on the sand ridge country.”
