The Upper Barwon Landcare Network works on the lands, waters and seas of the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation and the Gulidjan and Gadubanud People of the Maar Nation and acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
The Upper Barwon Landcare Network acknowledges that Traditional Owners have been part of this land for at least sixty-five millennia and that all Australians can learn from their stewardship. We believe that the descendants of those Traditional Owners should be consulted respectfully on matters that affect their culture and wellbeing.
