Gandangara First People’s Ranger Program

Welcome to the Gandangara First People Ranger program. This program is run by First Peoples and located on 1,100 hectares of land at Heathcote Ridge owned by Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council in the Sutherland Shire.

The land is a vital wildlife corridor and sanctuary that connects the Georges River, Heathcote and Royal National Park. Our rangers work out of a dedicated Eco-depot built on the property.

Our goals are:

• preserving Aboriginal lands
• protecting our cultural heritage
• caring for our environment
• empowering our community
• developing our rangers’ skills and career pathways
• responding to environmental emergencies
