PRESCRIBED BURNING - Autumn and Spring

Prescribed burning is the controlled application of fire under specified environmental conditions to attain planned objectives.

Because of the specific conditions required the dates of burns cannot be programmed in advance.

Where a burn may affect the Munda Biddi Trail, measures to ensure the safety of Trail users have been planned.

Safety measures may include diversions and temporary tent sites. Before a burn is started, signs and Trail markers will be posted on the ground advising Trail users of these measures. Measures will remain in place until the regular Trail alignment has been declared safe by DEC officers.

Prescribed burns that may be lit today are shown here.

PARKING AT NALA MIA CAMP SITE, JARRAHWOOD

Groups and individuals wanting to access the Nala Mia Munda Biddi Trail camp site at Jarrahwood by vehicle are advised to use the parking on the other side of the park with the trailhead and toilets. Parking is not permitted close to the camp site because we want to protect the vegetation surrounding it and limit resulting erosion damage caused by vehicles. In addition to this, Jarrahwood is a small community hence please drive slowly to keep the dust down in the area. Thank you.
