The project will create and maintain a native food bush garden in the Clarence Valley. The garden will be a culturally safe place for the Aboriginal community to connect to culture while preserving traditional knowledge and nurturing cultural identity. Young people will participate in planting and garden maintenance while learning from local Elders about native plants, healing and respect for country.
Healthy North Coast acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands across our region and pays respect to the Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise these lands were never ceded and acknowledge the continuation of culture and connection to land, sky and sea. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples and honour the rich diversity of the world’s oldest living cultures.
