The Bamboo Society of Australia respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we gather and work. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present, and emerging of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations across Australia. We recognise their profound connection to Country, which has sustained rich ecosystems and botanical knowledge for tens of thousands of years. As we explore and promote bamboo cultivation, we honour the wisdom, stories, and sustainable land management practices of Indigenous peoples. We are committed to learning from and working alongside First Nations communities in our shared stewardship of Australia's unique flora and landscapes.
