Despite the initial destruction of fires, pastures and bushland will soon recover. The process of recovery is amazing to follow, and the result will be a new or re-invigorated community of plants.

This information sheet includes principles applicable to most properties that affected by fire. However, it does include details and actions specific to the areas north of Melbourne that were impacted by the Mickleham-Kilmore fire in February 2014.

The Upper Goulburn Landcare Network produced this guide after the 2009 fires to provide landowners with practical advice and guidelines to allow them to make informed decisions on species selection and how, when and where to plant, and even whether to plant at all, on fire-affected land.

The guide aims to encourage, where appropriate, the planting, retention and protection of local indigenous species. It is primarily directed at landowners in fire-affected rural areas of Mitchell and Murrindindi Shires. It is not intended for garden or home landscaping design.
