Sharing waru knowledge and experience

Over the past four years, WA Parks Parks and Wildlife Service’s DBCA fire crews from the Swan Coastal District and Martu rangers have been working in partnership in preparation for the upcoming bushfire season.

This year, four KJ rangers and Jigalong Ranger Coordinator, Jowel Hyne, made the trip from the Great Sandy Desert and Little Sandy Desert regions and worked on prescribed burns north of Perth in Moore River National Park and Moore River State Forest.

It’s a great example of collaboration and two-way learning -- these prescribed burns mean KJ rangers can learn contemporary fire management techniques and the DBCA fire crews can also learn about the Martu rangers’ intimate knowledge of fire on country.
