First Nations Case Studies

Murrumbidgee Landcare’s First Nations case studies, developed through the NSW Landcare Enabling Program, highlight the strength of community-led action grounded in culture, knowledge sharing, and partnership across the Murrumbidgee catchment. These stories centre on Aboriginal leadership, collaboration, and connection to Country, showcasing initiatives that support cultural practice, environmental stewardship, and community wellbeing.

Through projects that bring together Elders, young people, Landcare groups, and partner organisations, these case studies demonstrate how strong relationships and local coordination can deliver meaningful outcomes for both Country and community. They offer practical insights and inspiration for others seeking to work respectfully and effectively alongside First Nations communities.
