Weaving Good Fire

Weaving Good Fire Workshops

We are honoured to be collaborating with Traditional Fire Practitioner, Jason Andrew Smith of Patrula Nayri (fire good) and Adaptation Facilitator, Steve Willing of Growth in Mind, to deliver Weaving Good Fire - a hands-on, cool burning and ecological stewardship workshop series.

The series occurs across two sessions. The first, working closely with Jason to learn about traditional fire in Australia’s landscape and the hands-on application of techniques to care for and rejuvenate country. The second session, invites participants who engaged in the first workshop to reconnect and explore the relationship between farming, fire and ecological stewardship through peer-to-peer learning exchange and facilitated reflection. Through this second session, we also hope to generate opportunities for additional agroecological workshops. Participants will engage as both learners and teachers.

Here is a taster of what these workshops have in store for you....

Weaving Good Fire is made possible through in-kind contributions from Patrula Nayri, Growth in Mind and Sprout and is generously sponsored by the TAS Farm Innovation Hub. Attendance at the workshops is provided free of charge to a capped number of participants.

These workshops are intended for farmers, food producers and farm workers involved in land stewardship. If you are interested in attending, but not sure if you meet these criteria or would otherwise like to express interest, please contact our Producer Liaison Officer - Dom via email dom@sprout.org.au

Please register early to secure your place. Participation will require a commitment to both sessions.

Workshop 1: Sunday 2nd November, 1pm-5pm, Cradoc, Tasmania

Workshop 2: Sunday 30th November, 2pm-4pm, Cradoc, Tasmania

The nature of these workshops requires them to be weather condition dependent. Sprout reserves the right to reschedule these workshops where conditions are not conducive with a safe and/or enjoyable experience.
