Released weekly. Listen, rate and review at https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/aftermath-1183678

Let's start at the very beginning.

Plants are critical to all life on land, and they are the organisms most acutely impacted by fire.

In this episode, Eav talks to Dr Brett Summerell of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney about how Australian plants are (and aren't) adapted to fire, the way that plants are recovering from the 2019/2020 bushfires and what we can all do to help conserve Australia's native flora.

Mark Spencer

Hello!
I'm Mark, and I'm a podcast addict. I've turned my tens of thousands of misbegotten hours binging history, comedy, and everything in-between into being a keen collaborator on audio projects (climate, local stories, place-based audio especially).

I work with passionate people to turn their ideas into published projects, when I'm not working in the renewable energy space in Naarm/Melbourne.
