NQ Dry Tropics is partnering with national Indigenous network Firesticks, North Queensland graziers, and Traditional Owner groups, to demonstrate how Cultural burning and traditional plant knowledge can boost climate resilience, ecosystem health, and agricultural profitability for grazing enterprises.
Firesticks are leading the Indigenous Knowledge for Climate Resilience project, funded through the Australian Government’s Climate Smart Agriculture Program.
“Our Elders get to go out and teach their grandchildren on Country. It gives them hope. This project is a win-win for everyone,” said Trinity Georgetown, Cultural Fire Project Officer.
