Beyond Bunya Dieback Symposium 2025 – Bringing Community Together to Heal Country

Join us on Friday, 14th March 2025, on Jinibara Country in Maleny, for the second "Beyond Bunya Dieback" Symposium. This year’s theme, "Bringing Community Together to Heal Country," focuses on fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and developing an education campaign to combat the spread of pathogens threatening our iconic Bunya trees and fragile ecosystems.

Event Highlights:

• Shared Knowledge: Learn from Traditional Owners, conservationists, scientists, soil pathologists, and other experts about the cultural and ecological significance of Bunya trees and practical strategies for managing the effects of pathogens.
• Collaborative Networks: Build connections with a diverse group of stakeholders to strengthen our collective efforts in protecting and restoring Country.
• Inspiration and Action: Gain tools, insights, and ideas to engage your community in conservation and education initiatives.

This year's program also includes a special international presentation from Tiakina Kauri, sharing valuable lessons learned from Aotearoa/New Zealand in their work to protect Kauri, as well as perspectives on cross-cultural partnerships and community-led solutions.
