Hunter Aboriginal River Keeper Team Project
A new project in the Hunter region will see an Indigenous Riverkeeping Team formed to deliver positive results on ground. The Hunter Aboriginal Riverkeeper Team (HART) will work on actions in line with the Hunter Valley Flood Mitigation Scheme
The project will redress environmental degradation, create positive educational, employment and business outcomes for Aboriginal people, and overcome Indigenous disadvantage through environmental and heritage management and conservation.
It will also establish, strengthen and promote partnerships, connection and engagement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
The project has a culture-rich approach and continues the practice of Indigenous Caring for Country in the Upper Hunter region.
