Red Hot Tips

A FREE one-stop service for farmers and rural landholders

The Red Hot Tips program educates, engages and supports farmers and landholders in rural Tasmania to actively manage their bushfire risk; encouraging collaborative vegetation fire management and ecological sustainability across the landscape.

Facilitators work with individuals, or groups of farmers or landholders, who manage large tracts of land in rural Tasmania and want help managing their bushfire risk, through:

Farm visits to discuss fuel reduction options
Planned burn training and on-ground mentoring
Developing burn plans and assistance with permits
Identifying equipment needs
Help with legislation requirements - navigating the red tape
Advice on alternative fuel reduction treatments
Opportunities for private and public landholders to work together with coordinated and effective burning
Phone and online support
Practical materials and resources like the SFMC booklet Planned Burning for Farmers and Landholders.
