Join us for a guided walk and tour at Yundi Nature Conservancy with Mark Koolmatrie and John Fargher. The experience will include a smoking ceremony and then a journey of culture, history, conversation and listening.  We hope this will provoke a sense of connection to country and place, as well as deepen your relationship to nature.

Participants will actively contribute to the restoration of the site through appropriate activities for the time of year for the visit (this may include tree planting, weeding or removal of Phragmites reeds from the wetland).
