Aboriginal people manage Aboriginal Land.
Aboriginal land Management Plans, called Healthy Country Plans, are developed, and crews of Aboriginal rangers are dedicated to managing the land’s natural, cultural, and Community values.
On Truwana/ Cape Barren Island, the Land Council has established a team of seven rangers. It runs a program for weed and feral animal control, heritage assessment and protection, and science and education to protect Truwana.
Government and other funding are actively sought to sustain this program and fund special projects such as Community on-country trips and infrastructure upgrades.
Other lands are managed by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre’s pakana Rangers, with collaboration between our rangers crews on special projects and some land.
