Launched last year, this program is marking a significant milestone in community-driven land management activities in Tamworth.
Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council is hailing the one-year mark of the Walaaybaa Rangers program. Over the past year, the program has worked towards environmental conservation, cultural connection, and providing employment opportunities and economic sustainability to the Tamworth community. Operations Manager of the Walaaybaa Ranger Program, Terri Whitton says that since commencing its operations last year, the Walaaybaa Ranger team have hit the ground running.
Beyond the environmental benefits, the program plays a vital role in creating cultural and economic benefits. Tamworth LALC says that by empowering Aboriginal youth, men, and women to undertake culturally significant roles in land and water management, the program strengthens their connection to Country while providing valuable career pathways and leadership development opportunities.
