Collaborative Land Management for Resilient Landscapes and Communities

Hamish will talk about land management projects around Wiluna that bring together formally adversarial groups (Mining, Pastoral, Indigenous) in order to collectively look after country for future generations. 

Some of the key objectives of this model are to:
•    support Indigenous NRM employment and capacity building
•    Manage biodiversity, production and heritage values through shared planning and coordinated activity
•    Utilize the different knowledge, skills and resources that partners bring to create sustainable land management programs
•    share knowledge and build relationships between formally adversarial groups (mining, pastoral, Indigenous) around common interests in  sustainable land management
•    create opportunities for collaborations between traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), pastoralists’ knowledge and contemporary science/NRM.

 

In your lunch hour you can learn a new skill in a supportive environment. These sessions are highly practical and a great opportunity to learn from others.

We start at 12:30 and finish at 13:30 so it fits within your lunch hour,
There's plenty of time for questions, answers, ideas and discussion,
BYO lunch, and you can use our kitchen for prep and clean-up,
Participation is FREE
Participants will need to bring a notepad and pen, if taking notes is desired.
