Connect with the Indigenous landscape. Art, Medicine and Food in our COSS lands - Sun 3 July

Connect with the Indigenous Landscape

Art, Medicine and Food in our COSS lands.

 

Sun 3 July, 2016

Time:      9.00am to 12.30pm

Where:    Rumbalara Reserve

Our Coastal Open Space System (COSS) and National Parks are the jewel of Gosford. For thousands of years these lands supported the first Australians. Across the coast the spirit of the Darkinjung people is still in the landscape and in its diversity of plants and animals. While many artefacts and much art lays hidden, the rocks, plants and animals continue to tell the story of the strong interaction with the land of the first peoples.

The COSS Connections and Rehabilitation Project is all about connections. Connecting the COSS reserves with National Parks, connecting landholders with their neighbours, with the spirit of the land and with the plants and animals that still abound.

The COSS lands are fast becoming islands in an urban matrix. New generations of plants and animals need new homes and need safe passage between reserves. It's about all of us working together to find ways to share and repair our land and enable animals a future beyond the reserves.

But how?

Friends of COSS, COSS neighbours and Land for Wildlife members are invited to attend a Guided Walk and Information Event on Sunday morning, 3 July, 2016 at Rumbalara Reserve.
