Staff ride for a Narawntau planned burn, Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service. Filmed with the support of the Bushfire CRC.
A staff ride is an experiential learning activity that enables systemic, cultural or psychological issues to become visible. This page contains information and resources to assist agencies run their own staff ride.
Designing the staff ride - a vehicle for learning from bushfire and prescribed burning operations in Australia, and a guide to building organisational capacity for high reliability.
The PhD work of Valerie Densmore explored how woody legumes, typified by wattles, can play a central role in restoring ecosystems following bushfires. She showed that when their seeds are exposed to heat they germinate quickly, helping to stabilise soil and return nitrogen to the system. The knowledge gained from her research is important to predicting ecosystem resilience and fuel recovery following fire.
