Six Season Walks

Walking together, learning together

The Noongar Six Season Walk program commenced in 2017 through the National Landcare Program and is one of Perth NRM’s most successful programs with many families and community groups participating across the Perth Region. The program continued through January-December 2019 with funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Office‘s Community Stewardship Grants (small).

Perth NRM is now partnering with the City of Kalamunda, City of Cockburn, City of Stirling, City of Bayswater, City of Melville and the Shire of Mundaring to host the walks at popular parks and reserves. The project will give participants a chance to understand the yearly cycle of travel and resource collection across the landscape from the hills to the coast.

Led by an Elder or Traditional Knowledge holder each walk provides an experience of the various aspects of the Noongar seasons and teaches participants about the culture and language of the Noongar people. Attendees will gain new insight into our bushland and an appreciation of how the Noongar people managed the extensive resources available to them.

Each walk will be unique, changing with the weather, the flora and fauna we may see. Participants will learn something new and grow their appreciation of Noongar culture and our incredible natural surroundings.
