Creating a space within Landcare where we can share our stories and together make sense of what it means to be in a good relationship with Aboriginal Communities.
For a long time, Landcare’s focus has been to support farmers, conservationists, and community members to come together to protect the land they relied on. During this time Landcare used mostly Western environmental methods to address issues such as salinity, erosion and declining biodiversity and soil health.
In more recent times, Landcare in NSW has acknowledged that working with Aboriginal people and business’ to implement Traditional knowledges, is integral for improving ecological and cultural outcomes for Country and people. As a result, they have committed to inviting Aboriginal People to work alongside Landcare NSW through Aboriginal Landcare Coordinator roles and genuine partnership building.
