The TS-CRC's book on fire management Savanna Burning was
launched in Townsville at a meeting of the Queensland Rural Fire
Service on March 15 - and will be launched in the NT at a
volunteers event for the Bush Fires Council of the NT in late
April.
The book is also being shown around various meetings associated
with fire management in the Kimberley.
Savanna Burning provides for the first time a practical and
comprehensive guide to managing fires in north Queensland and
tropical Australia. Published by the Tropical Savannas CRC, the

researchers and Aboriginal fire managers.
The authors offer advice on many issues of practical concern in
the north including:
- Savanna ecosystems and fire regimes;

- Managing pasture condition with fire;
- Controlling weeds with fire;
- Controlling woody thickening; and
