Fencing Festival
You know what burns really well in a blazing bushfire? Fencing. Lots of it. Really, LOTS of it.
If you're sitting in front of a keyboard and wondering what practical help you can render, stop and consider the joys of learning how to FENCE. Sure, it's hot, dirty physical work, but you get to take a great keyboard break, learn new skills (that will serve you for a lifetime) and meet new friends that could teach you a thing or two about a fence. You could even double up with our Wildlife Support challenge and do some #citizenscience whilst you're at it!
Think you can innovate in this space? In the aftermath of the 2019/2020 Australian fires, thousands of kilometers of fencing will have been destroyed, requiring a massive recovery team effort to restore livestock protection and asset boundaries. We're yet to see a high tech solution to this one. So consider signing up to help out the team at BlazeAid.
