Community engagement plays a vital role in growing resilience and in recovery of natural resources following bushfires.
From landholders protecting and recovering natural assets to volunteer teams supporting restoration, emergency action and landscape-level resilience – mobilising and working with communities enables more rapid and enduring recovery and resilience efforts. Just as importantly, community involvement in strengthening and restoring biodiversity and natural systems before and after extreme events is good for people: it aids in healing, provides connection and learning, and can grow community resilience alongside landscape resilience over the long term.
This collection brings together guidelines and case studies for community engagement in bushfire recovery and resilience efforts.
