Conservation Futures is proud to be working with Yambulla and Black Duck Foods to explore collaborative and future-orientated land-management practices. The project involves consensus building around gathering culturally appropriate, ecological and biodiversity data.

The project focuses on 1500 hectares of mixed sclerophyll woodlands, grasslands and plantations which is known as “border country” of the Yuin, Nagarigo and Bidhawal People. Jim Osborne, of Yambulla understands the value of inviting First Nations people back on Country from which they were removed during colonisation. The focus is to work together to provide a better future for the next generation. The relationship between Yambulla and Black Duck Foods is one of mutual respect and knowledge sharing.
