Capital Land Keepers Trust.

An Indigenous program to train Indigenous women coming out of Maconochie Centre to learn ranger skills and work on their land.

$5,000

Caption: George Wilson visited Yarning Circle Project which RCCBG is supporting together with the Land Keepers Trust, Red Cross and the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust (WWT). The project is a trial of a program providing mentoring and connection with country for Indigenous women exiting the Alexander Maconochie Centre. The trial is working well but its scope is limited. The RCCBG funding has encouraged the ACT Government to move beyond the trial and add line items in future budgets which we hope will be funded.

The photos show plantings by members of the group, and the extent of the former grazing property on Dairy Road, Fyshwick which is being converted back to a diverse environment and wetland by the project participants. Two fire circles one for men, and one for women are shown with indigenous participants, plus Sarah Ryan from The Land Keepers Trust, George Wilson, Lori Gould from WWT in the Indigenous contractor Adam Shipp, Yurbay Consulting.
