Minyumai covers over 2,100 hectares of paperbark groves and scribbly gum, swamp mahogany and bloodwood forests – as well as rare patches of lush rainforest. Minyumai helps form a crucial wildlife corridor of more than 20,000 hectares as it links Tabbimobile Swamp Nature Reserve with Bundjalung National Park. Its vast areas of native bushland are owned and managed by Bandjalang custodians on behalf of the Bandjalang clan to develop employment enterprises for Bandjalang people, reinforce our unique culture, and look after the area’s abundant native wildlife.
Minyumai’s engagement with The Firesticks Project: Applying contemporary and Aboriginal fire practices to enhance biodiversity, connectivity and landscape resilience is supported through funding from the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Future Biodiversity Fund and is being implemented through a partnership with the Nature Conservation Council of NSW
