Practice selected:Prescribed burns

Formally documented fires that are planned to meet specific objectives, such as reducing fuel, restoring fire-adapted ecosystems, or maintaining landscape health. Prescribed fires follow strict safety protocols, receive official authorisation, and are conducted by trained practitioners who often learn these techniques through structured programmes such as TREX (prescribed fire TRaining EXchanges).
