We acknowledge the Ngarrindjeri people as the traditional owners of the lands and waters where we work.
We pay respect to elders past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge and respect their cultural, spiritual, physical and emotional connection with their land, waters and community.
We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people in this area today.
This is Ngarrindjeri country, always was, always will be.
Prior to European colonisation, Hindmarsh Island was already Ngarrindjeri Country known as Kumarangk/Kumerangk
Our mission
Using the best available knowledge of pre-European ecosystems and working actively with the present landholders, we aim to restore and re-establish vegetation communities which are richly bio-diverse, resilient to climate change and create connected wildlife habitat.
restoration and revegetation
A visit to Hindmarsh Island in 1990 showed a barren and degraded landscape, devoid of native scrub, with no significant trees. Suffering from wind erosion, weed invasion, salinity and shoreline erosion, the island had been abused for far too long.
In 1991/92, after funds were made available through Greening Australia Hindmarsh Island Landcare Group was formed.
Today we have planted over 700,000 lower, mid and upper storey flora on more than 80 sites over the length and breadth of Kumarangk.
