Based on best available science and operational knowledge, the Hotspots Fire Project is a NSW training program which provides landholders and land managers the skills and knowledge needed to actively and collectively participate in fire management planning and implementation for the protection and enhancement of biodiversity conservation.
Hotspots understands that well-informed and well prepared communities complement the roles of land managers and fire agencies and that a shared approach to fire management is critical to any form of planning.
Hotspots core objectives:
Objective 1: On-ground fire management is informed by the best available fire ecology research and operational knowledge.
Objective 2: Landholders and land managers gain knowledge and skills to engage in practical and sustainable fire management - and plan and implement together strategies across landscapes.
Objective 3: Sustainable fire regimes are recognised in and are part of relevant regional, state and national policies and programs.
