SUMMARY:From fire to forage: Insights for productive and resilient spinifex lands
DESCRIPTION:What if spinifex country holds more grazing potential than we’ve been using?\nSpinifex (Triodia species) covers over 25% of Australia’s landmass and is a dominant feature across northern rangelands. Despite its extensive coverage\, practical knowledge around managing spinifex pastures for grazing remains limited and often untapped. \nTo shed light on this vital yet underexplored resource\, insights were gathered from 21 pastoralists\, 5 Traditional Owners\, and 7 rangeland scientists from the Pilbara\, Kimberley\, and Central Australia. Together\, their experiences reveal practical strategies that balance sustainable grazing and fire management to unlock the potential of spinifex country. \nFrom Fire to Forage: Insights for Productive and Resilient Spinifex Lands 📅 21 May 2026 | 11:00am AWST (1:00pm AEST\, 12:30pm NT) \nJoin Matthew Fletcher (Range Assist\, Kununurra WA) and Mervyn Wortley (Ruby Plains Station\, Halls Creek WA) as they delve into the science\, stories\, and strategies for managing spinifex for productivity and resilience. \nThis engaging session will explore:\n\nWhy spinifex matters in grazing systems\nHow fire can be used to lift feed quality and manage pasture\nThe balance between cool and hot burns for spinifex health\nOn-ground experience from Ruby Plains Station\nSupplementary feeding strategies in spinifex country\n\nIf you work in northern rangelands\, this is a chance to rethink what spinifex country can actually do for your operation. \n📅 Register now to secure your spot. \n
