Tuesday, 1 September, was a momentous occasion for the Northern Gulf Indigenous Savannah Group as they watched their first group of trainees graduate with a Certificate III in Land Conservation and Management. The course, run by the TAFE Cairns campus, was specially adapted for Indigenous conservation knowledge capture, and traditional conservation of Indigenous country.
Ricky Archer, Traditional Knowledge Project Manager for the group, mentored and assisted with on-site training. “The students of this course picked it up easier than in other training I have been involved in,” said Ricky. “This is because it was tailored to be done on country, with a hands-on approach.”
