Description

When forests are young, flammable species like manuka, kanuka and gorse dominate. To reduce the risk of fire, an effective tool is to plant a native green firebreak between our homes and our naturally rewilding forest. What’s a green firebreak? What species should we plant? How wide should the firebreak be, where should it go and how can we look after it?

Join Maureen Howard on Rewilding in Action with her guest Associate Professor Dr Tim Curran. For more information on low flammable native species go to https://www.checkitsalright.nz/reduce-your-risk/low-flammability-plan
