Seasonal Calendars

In partnership with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal Ranger groups, we have developed 15 seasonal and cultural fire calendars that bring together cultural knowledge and science to support better fire and land management. This work has gained international recognition and is helping shape collaborative approaches to caring for Country.

Cultural Burn Support & Ecological
Monitoring

We support cultural burn planning and undertake post-fire ecological monitoring with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal Ranger groups. Using a two-way science approach, we combine Traditional Knowledge and field data to assess native plant recovery, fuel reduction, and ecosystem resilience. Monitoring across sites including Gunnedah, Guyra, Myall Creek, Terry Hie Hie, Bective, Ingleba (Walcha), and Bassendean (Tingha) is providing valuable evidence of the ecological benefits of cultural cool burning.

Ecological Interpretation & Field Education

We develop clear, science-based educational resources and interpretive signage that make ecological information accessible to diverse audiences. Drawing on field ecology expertise, we create site-specific trail signage, biodiversity guides, and educational materials that support species identification, ecosystem understanding, and conservation outcomes while helping achieve land management goals.

Northern Territory Cross-Cultural Projects

This portfolio showcases long-term ecological partnerships across the Northern Territory with consultancies, universities, Traditional Owners, and Ranger groups. Projects include wetland assessments in Kakadu National Park and the Cobourg Peninsula Ramsar Site, as well as co-designing seasonal calendars with the Yugul Mangi Rangers. By integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge with Western science, this work supports right-way fire management, climate resilience, and community-led conservation.
