Land Leaders 2021 (Yr 10 – 12)

Dates:

4.6.2021 to 6.6.2021

Course Description

An extension camp for Yr 10 -12 young people in the Far South Coast particularly fire affected students studying Agriculture, Geography, Earth and Environmental Science or related sciences interested in learning more about designing for fire retardance. (Bega Valley Shire students will have priority – 20 places available)
The Camp runs from 5pm Friday afternoon 4 June to 1pm Sunday 6 June and full scholarship support to attend is provided by the Bega Valley Shire Community Fund and the Cobargo Community Bushfire Relief Fund.  Contact dean@thecrossingland.org.au with any questions you may have.
The camp starts on Greendale dairy farm at the end of Green Tyrells Rd in Coolagolite with an evening bushwalk to a remote tent camp for stories by the fire on a nearby mountain at the edge of the Badja Fire ground in Biamanga National Park.
The walk to The Crossing the next morning looks at fire affected and fire protected areas and what is happening with recovery and at fire retardant plants that coped well with the blaze. At the camp young people will look at design for sustainability, fire preparedness and protection. In the afternoon we will add to the fire retardant shelterbelts being planted at The Crossing to slow fire winds and retard ember spread.
Students are asked to bring an aerial photo from google earth of their own place or their nearest showground or recreation area to experiment with their fire retardant design ideas based on what they have seen at the camp and elsewhere. Saturday night is in a train carriage bunkhouse. On the Sunday the group returns by canoe to Bermagui for a 1pm finish at the Bermagui bridge boat ramp.
Since July 2020 The Crossing has been working with support from the Bermagui RFS and SES to facilitate fire road group discussions. Many experiences have been shared at these gatherings and many fire preparedness actions and design ideas have come from the people who have attended. This workshop builds on those learnings as well as research into long term wind data in the Bega Valley Shire, Australian and international shelterbelt design and Australian fire retardant plant information.
