Livestock producers in North East Victoria and East Gippsland are enjoying a good spring. In the midst of these great conditions, now is the best time to be asking, are you prepared for the coming fire season.
What’s the best way to prepare your property for the fire season? How do you prevent a haystack fire? Do you have a plan to stay and defend your property, or will you leave?
Agriculture Victoria is hosting Prepare Your Property, top tips to get your farm ready for the coming fire season, two webinars for landholders in East Gippsland and Victoria’s North East.
These webinars will feature local CFA representatives who will provide timely reminders on how to get your property ready for the fire season, while local landholders will discuss their first-hand experience of bushfire and preparing their farms to minimise the risk and damage from future events.
The presentations will be followed with a short Q&A session.
