Fire Season and Learning: Keeping Education Alive for Country Kids

What an incredible day spent with the Rangers and the Learning on Country (LOC) kids, as they dived into the essential practice of roadside burning and its critical role in environmental conservation. The children not only learned the techniques but also gained a deeper understanding of how controlled burns contribute to maintaining healthy ecosystems and preventing larger, uncontrollable wildfires.

It was inspiring to see the younger generation so engaged and eager to learn about protecting the land that has shaped their heritage and culture. The hands-on experience provided a unique opportunity for them to connect with traditional land management practices while also embracing modern conservation efforts.

The collaboration between the Rangers and the LOC kids highlighted the importance of passing down knowledge and skills to ensure a sustainable future. As we move forward, it’s clear that these young learners are poised to carry the torch for environmental stewardship in their communities.
