Gently explores the importance of healthy fire to the plants and animals of Australia's bush.
Fire is a natural part of the Australian bush. This is a story about that relationship – fire that breathes life back into nature.
Alight shares the story of Australian native plants and animals during a planned fire. Discover how the fire helps Christmas Bells grow new flowers and Wallum Banksia to open its woody seed capsules. Follow Antechinus and a tiny Wallum Sedge Frog as they face the danger of the fire – and the challenges that come after. See how the bush recovers and flourishes after the fire, all under the watch of Old Eucalypt.
-
Explores how planned fire is a necessary element in the fire-prone ecosystems of the Australian bush.
-
Shows how different species of plants and animals respond to fire and can benefit from post-fire conditions.
-
Illustrates how tiny animals can survive fire and how fire can trigger flower production, seed release and germination in plants.
-
Demonstrates the challenges animals and plants can also face in the post-fire environment.
