Putting good fire into Country is an experience in itself but to be able to support communities and introduce this practice to so many people, sharing knowledge across generations, and walking beside our Elders and young people on Country is something else. Implementing good fire into Country has so many environmental benefits, however the health and wellbeing benefits it provides to mob is invaluable. Connecting to culture and caring for Country.
