Please join us to celebrate our unique bioregion and catchment - Nambucca Valley.

Local speakers and knowledge holders will share about the geology, geography, history, plants, animals and waterways of our Place.

We'd love to hear your stories, ideas and concerns so that together we can share our knowledge and look after our beautiful waterways, hills and valleys.

Bring your love of our Place, and share your information, maps and ideas!

Everyone is welcome!

AUSTRALIAN EARTH LAWS ALLIANCE (AELA)

AELA is the auspice organisation for the Nambucca Valley Bioregional Alliance (NVBA).

AELA is a not-for-profit organisation working to increase the understanding and practical implementation of Earth-centred (ecocentric) governance. AELA works to create systems change, across an intersection of reimagining and decolonising: law, economics, education, ethics and community participation in Australia. AELA's work includes education programs and project support for people, communities and organisations working to create ecocentric and bioregional systems change. We use the Greenprints approach to guide bioregional projects and events.
