Slash, not burn

Congratulations Mount Evelyn Mail on your supplement on Fire Action Week.
I hope our shire representatives read it and decide to get their slashers and mowers out of mothballs.
Sports ovals and playgrounds aren’t the only areas that ought to receive attention.
Slashing and mowing roadside plantations and other areas ought be an ongoing program, not just a last minute effort at fire hazard times.
Have a look at the height of grasses along Monbulk Silvan Road – a young child could get lost there!
