Working with Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Owners
There are a number of ways for Landcare groups to work with Traditional Owners to care for country. The Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (DDWCAC) can give a Welcome to Country or Smoking Ceremony at the start of Landcare events. They can also undertake a cultural heritage survey of a site (see more in their “Schedule of Rates” below). One of the most valuable things groups can do is continue to learn more about the cultural heritage values of our area (see links below). Contact the DDWCAC if you have any questions.
