We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, the Bundjalung people, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We recognise the Arakwal, Widjabul Wia-bal, Nyangbal, Minjungbal, Goodjinburra, and Bullinah peoples of the Bundjalung Nation, whose Countries encompass the bioregion we work within.

We honour their enduring connection to land, waters, culture, and community, and acknowledge the knowledge systems that have cared for this Country for tens of thousands of years.

We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
