Junior ranger activities will assist First Nations secondary and/or primary students to engage with their schooling through a combination of classroom and on-Country learning. Preference will be given to local First Nations providers, including Indigenous Ranger Groups or First Nations providers with relationships with Indigenous Ranger Groups.
Applicants should also demonstrate support from relevant Traditional Owners and partner schools to deliver activities. Junior ranger projects should support participating students to complete their schooling and can include school based activities - as well as camps, excursions, and field trips - involving land, sea, and natural resource management, environmental data collection, heritage related projects and cultural studies. Projects can also support students to gain relevant qualifications, such as Conservation and Ecosystem Management (Certificates I, II and III), Maritime Studies and Senior First Aid.
