Building on our earlier collaboration with the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation on the Significant Species project, this project co-develops with Gunditjmara community members the Weeyn Yarkeen (Fire Dreaming) Strategy—a five-year plan to strengthen cultural fire practice on Gunditjmara Country. 

The project combines historical research on traditional fire knowledge with community consultation, including on-Country gatherings and online workshops with staff, rangers and broader community members. The process has highlighted the time, trust and cultural sensitivity required to develop strategies that honour First Nations knowledge systems.
