Key points
Increased Grazing Flexibility: Allows grazing on vacant allotments during drought or wildfires, helping livestock management and reducing fire hazards.
New Fire Prevention Methods: Promotes targeted grazing to reduce flammable vegetation and invasive grasses, potentially slowing fire spread.
Post-Fire Recovery Support: Utilizes grazing as a strategy for post-fire recovery and restoration, aiding environmental regeneration.
