🐴🔥Willinga Park’s approach to bush fire ready!
Major weather events and natural disasters are a part of living on this earth. Adding climate change to the mix, these may become more intense and frequent and are difficult to predict and impossible to stop. However, there is much we can do to limit the damage and loss of life if they occur, and strategies that give your land and vegetation the resilience to ‘bounce back’ faster. The key is in how we respond to these challenges - and in the context of managing our properties - how well we have planned and prepared for when they do occur.
As part of a new educational bundle series in collaboration with Horses and People Magazine🐴, we will explore the regenerative strategies guided by natural systems that you can put to work on your horse property. A long-term plan and a desire to see your horses healthy and happy are all the motivation you need to build your land’s resilience in the face of more frequent and possible extreme earth🌏, water💦, air🌬, and fire🔥 related events.
So stay turned for this exciting release!
In preparing of this launch, we release this free article as part of the bushfire chapter!
MB Equine services connect with Willinga Park’s founder Terry Snow to hear more about his award-winning equestrian establishment; how it was developed, and specifically what plans and actions are put in place to prepare for any of such natural disasters – noting the recent bushfires in 2019-2020 and the media coverage and report of the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements on how Willinga Park blocked the fire run and protected the local town, Bawley Point, from a major fire disaster.
