By running on-Country activities and connecting with other First Nations peoples this project aims to build resilient people and landscapes. It will do so through rekindling and strengthening Wolgalu/Wiradjuri connections to Country, cultural knowledge and inter-generational knowledge exchange. These activities will enable a whole-of-community approach to consider:
- what healthy, resilient Country is according to Wolgalu/Wiradjuri
- how Wolgalu/Wiradjuri define the ‘problems’ with natural resource management agencies and what is needed to develop healthy relationships between their community and NRM agencies to care for Country
- learnings from other First Nations peoples and Country.
The video below, developed by First Nations cultural land managers and the Department of Planning and Environment, profiles some of the ongoing collaborative conservation work being undertaken by Wolgalu/Wiradjuri peoples on Country, including critically endangered species protection in the Brungle-Tumut and Snowy Mountain areas.
