Screening of Forest Country and Fire Science Presentation - Wednesday 12 August
Forest Country by filmmaker Lewi Haskins
This special extended cut of Forest Country includes new footage and additional interviews.
Following the film, there will be a presentation and panel discussion with leading fire behaviour scientist Adjunct Associate Professor Dr Philip Zylstra.
Dr Philip Zylstra will present current research on planned burning, forest disturbance and bushfire risk
Research shows that broadscale planned burning is not only damaging to climate, human health and the environment, but is also ineffective in reducing extreme bushfire risk. Studies have also shown that the flush of shrubs that follows prescribed burning can increase long-term fire severity.
