Wildlife-friendly or firewise? Learn how to balance both in your garden. Join local experts for practical tips, followed by a morning tea!
Can you create a beautiful, wildlife-friendly garden that also helps protect your home from bushfire?
Join the Council's Biodiversity Officer and a CFA Vegetation Management Officer for a practical, down-to-earth session exploring how to balance habitat and fire safety around your property.
Many popular “gardens for wildlife” ideas can clash with firewise advice. This session breaks it down simply, helping you understand what works, what to reconsider, and how to make confident choices that support both biodiversity and bushfire safety.
You’ll hear real-world insights from local experts, compare “Gardens for Wildlife” recommendations with CFA landscaping guidelines, and pick up practical tips you can apply straight away, whether you’re starting from scratch or working with an established garden.
After the session, stick around for a free morning tea and a chance to chat with CFA, Council staff, and other locals.
Come along, get inspired, and take a simple step toward a safer home and a thriving, wildlife-friendly garden.
