Prescribed Burning
Published on Thursday, 12 June 2025 at 8:41:53 AM
Today, June 12, 2025, until June 15, 2025, contractors from the Shire of Northam will conduct prescribed burning in the reserve along Trimmer and Fox Road.
The Shire’s prescribed burning program is designed to protect lives, property, and infrastructure from bushfires through a carefully planned series of controlled burns. The intent is to conduct a cool burn to reduce the fuel loads while minimising the impact on understory vegetation. This practice also helps maintain biodiversity and supports vegetation management.
