Koori Country Cultural Fire Aboriginal Corporation (KCCFAC) is a non for profit organisation that aim to revive Traditional Aboriginal cultural practices of burning Country as an alternative approach to Hazard Reduction techniques used by private and public landholders and managers. KCCFAC primary objective is to care for Country (Our Mother Earth), regardless of tenure or ownership. This knowledge has been passed onto KCCFAC by Aboriginal Cultural Elders and knowledge holders. Whilst the Australian landscape is broad and extremely diverse, it is the underlying principles and methodologies of Aboriginal cultural burning that remain the same. KCCFAC now pass on this knowledge to other Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to help restore Country that has been impacted by wild fire, the absence of fire and or infestation of exotic weeds. Cultural burning also acts to reduce dangerous fuel loads that surround urban development and regional towns and properties.
