Truwana Rangers

The Truwana Rangers were formed in 2015 to care for the land, seas, waterways and skies of Truwana/Cape Barren Island.

The island was officially returned to the Aboriginal Community in 2005 and is a landscape of cultural, spiritual, ecological, and environmental significance. In 1982, the East Coast Cape Barren Island Lagoons were designated a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Truwana rangers are responsible for caring for this country and working with the community to support cultural and economic activities that preserve and protect the island’s cultural, natural, and heritage values. 

The Truwana Rangers are (from left to right) Buck Brown, Lindee Mansell, June Brown, Steven Heggie, Phil Thomas and Shane Hughes.
