Indigenous Partnership Outreach
Through support from the Landscape Catalyst Fund, the C3JV is developing an outreach strategy to engage Indigenous voices as we together develop a conservation vision for the Central Coast. With over 20 Indigenous Nations, bands, groups and affiliated communities within the C3JV region, it is the responsibility of the Joint Venture to seek and enable opportunities of exchange between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners. In accordance with our strategic goals, building the requisite relationships and trust to strengthen the C3JV's support for Indigenous people in the Central Coast requires a significant commitment to engagement in culturally-informed ways. The C3JV is grateful to the Catalyst Fund for its support and encouragement in this most important of endeavors.
