Following these two sessions of the SEQFBC Fire Science Forum (concluding at lunchtime), attendees will be free to attend whichever part of the ESA conference program they like, thus providing our partners with the opportunity to not only attend a unique SEQFBC Fire Science Forum, but also experience an ESA conference at a significantly discounted rate. The afternoon ESA program includes plenary talks and an afternoon session with five concurrent streams to choose from.
ESA conferences typically attract 500 – 600 attendees from a range of ecological, research, government and land management sectors and disciplines. The SEQFBC consider this to be a highly valuable opportunity and are pleased to be able to offer it to our partners and networks. The day will conclude at 5:45pm, but attendees are encouraged to also register for the hugely popular ESA Barbara Rice Memorial Poster evening (6 – 7:30pm). This event is a fantastic way to network and will ensure you learn from and interact with poster authors.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in the role of fire in the Australian landscape, fire as a land management tool, fire ecology and/or fire management, especially those interested in private land conservation and cross-agency collaborations. Presenters are encouraged to showcase local fire research projects and innovative and successful partnerships. Presentation topics include monitoring for adaptive fire management, fire and seed ecology, prescribed burning, voluntary conservation agreements, fire and private land conservation and indigenous fire management.
