This weekend Dr Graeme Lorimer returns to Far East Gippsland for a series of events in bushfire impacted communities. 
The aim of these workshops is to explain the ecology of plant regrowth post fire and why sometimes you see a profusion of a particular species and what that might mean. 
An example of this might be black wattle. As he will explain they may not be such a bad thing after all.
And did you know that mosses and liverworts are early colonisers post fire?
As Dr Lorimer explained at a previous event, mosses and liverworts produce spores that can rise high into the atmosphere.
