Obligate seeding species recruit from the seeds stored in the seed bank following a fire. Thick undergrowth is cleared during fires and opens the canopy, assisting germination and regrowth of vegetation. Bushfires provide nutrients essential to the health and regeneration of native vegetation.

Fauna habitat is created by the burnt-out trees and fallen logs that are left following a bushfire.

However, uncontrolled bushfires are a risk to human life and property, and adequate planning and advice is essential if you live in a bushfire prone area or your property is surrounded by vegetation.
