Fire management guidelines SEASON: Summer to late-autumn. INTENSITY: Low. INTERVAL: 3-6 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 3. INTERVAL_MAX: 6. STRATEGY: Aim to burn 40-60% of any given area. Spot ignition in cooler or moister periods encourages mosaics. ISSUES: Maintain ground litter and fallen timber habitats by burning only with sufficient soil moisture. Burning should aim to produce fine scale mosaics of unburnt areas.
