Funding to develop a Yued Ranger Program

The State Government recently announced Yued Aboriginal Corporation as a successful applicant of the WA Aboriginal Ranger Program Round 8.

We will use the two-year funding of $1,576,293.58 to develop our Yued Ranger Program, with a focus on formal and informal training opportunities so we can manage our Country and participate in the Carbon Economy.

The funding will ensure capacity building through:

• Certification through TAFE around Conservation and Ecosystem Management, Horticulture and Aquaculture;

• Marine training for diving and vessel operation;

• Drone operation, mapping and surveys; and

• Traineeships for land restoration, including seed collection, propagation and weed and pest control.

We will be working with the community in the near future to kick off this project.
