Live firewise garden installation in Margaret River

Maintaining an asset protection zone, cutting out “fire ladders”, choosing the right mulch and proper spacing between plants are some of the secrets to protecting your property from bushfire.

And these secrets and more will be shared at this free Nature Conservation Margaret River Region fire-wise workshop and live garden installation as part of the conservation group’s For Nature Landholder Stewardship Program.

The workshop from 10am-12noon will see the Wallcliffe Volunteer Fire Brigade at 557 Wallcliffe Rd, Margaret River becomes home to an educational garden patch which will be planted to show attendees the key principles of a fire-wise garden.

As part of the event,  Chris Ferreira  will host a live fire-wise garden demonstration, covering key topics like plant choice and location, choosing mulch, protecting your home and assets, preserving key habitat species, and removing “fire ladders” such as tangled, lower branches of trees.

Resources and prizes will also be available…
