12 September 2025
Join Kings Park Science for an exclusive walk into Kings Park Bushland research burn site, guided by researchers and land managers working at the forefront of urban biodiversity conservation.
Dates and times
Event information
Discover how scientists are untangling the complex relationship between fire, weeds, and biodiversity in one of Perth’s largest remaining bushland. Over more than a decade, Kings Park Science has been conducting field experiments to understand how different management actions and fire intervals shape native plant communities, fuel loads, and weed invasion — and what that means for restoring and protecting urban bushlands.
Hear directly from Dr Russell Miller and Ryan Glowacki, who are collaborating on research focused on the interacting effects of fire, weeds, and disturbance, and learn about the decade-long research program. This is a rare opportunity to see the bushland as a living laboratory, gain insider insights into fire ecology research, and understand how science is guiding land management decisions for a resilient urban landscape.
Bookings opening soon.
