CLCAC wins the Peabody Environment and Landcare Award

At a ceremony held in Caloundra on the evening of Saturday 8 November, the Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation was announced the winner of the Queensland Regional Achievement and Community Award for its Indigenous Ranger Program.

Rangers undertake basic monitoring to prepare for the carbon economy.
