Indigenous Knowledge for Climate Resilience: Soil

Keen to learn about soil health after fire? Victor Steffensen, Tagalaka man and Living Knowledge Network Co-founder, shows us how it's done on Wakka Wakka Country. You'll see how Cultural Burning nurtures and replenishes the soil. By burning after rain, the soil stays incredibly moist and cool. Victor shows us the mosaic pattern in the landscapes after a Cultural Fire, with native herbs and grasses still present, and the black ash acting as a powerful natural fertilizer. The soil remains "beautifully soft," never baked, proving a cool fire keeps our grass stocks thriving.
