Three Wurundjeri Narrap Rangers igniting a burn

We're celebrating recent cultural fire achievements.

We joined Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Narrap Rangers at Craigieburn Grassland Nature Conservation Reserve to deliver a cultural burn.

The fire returns – not to destroy, but to heal.

This cultural burn marks the second operation of a larger block, building on important work first carried out in 2024.

Each step is part of a bigger journey, one that takes time, care and deep understanding of Country.

As flames move gently across the landscape, they are doing vital work. Invasive weed species are reduced, making space for native grasses to breathe again.

This is the power of burning Country.

What may look like a simple burn is, in reality, a carefully guided process that supports ecological renewal and strengthens the health of the land.

Each burn builds on the last. Each season brings new growth.

Working alongside Traditional Owners ensures we care for Country in a way that respects knowledge, culture and connection that spans thousands of years.
