Dunggirr Dreaming Workshop

Dunggiidu ngiyaanya ganggaadi (Heed the Call of Dunggirr, Koala) planting ceremony was a gathering and yarn, and a tree planting, that took place in November and December, 2018 connecting three places on Gumbaynggirr Country: North Farm, Scotts Head and Yarriabini. Heeding the call, Yandaarra, the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance of NRM practitioners, Bellingen Landcare and local landholders came together at North Farm, a property just outside of Bellingen on the mid-north coast of NSW. Calling in ceremony and the Old Fellas, connecting the eucalyptus tree planting for improved Dunggirr habitat to the Dunggirr creation story, Aunty Shaa invited those present to connect and belong in place, in and on Gumbaynggirr Country, in new ways.

Caring-as-Country is a relationship with Country we need to nourish that is not about conquering or managing or manipulating the land, but about supporting different ways of being with Country.
