Tallebudgera Valley Nature-Culture Alliance
Tallebudgera Valley Nature-Culture Alliance (NiCA) is newly established unincorporated group of landholders who have formed for the purpose of regenerating ecological communities, as a community. Underpinning our passion to form NiCA is the desire for on-the-ground community cultural approaches that
-
share knowledge,
-
expertise and resources,
-
lead to regeneration, conservation and stewardship, and
-
leave Tallebudgera Valley’s natural assets better for future generations.
We value
We respect, value and care about other people and their cultures take care to foster respectful behaviour in every relationship.
We attach great importance to a mutual, honest exchange of opinions. Everyone should and may know where we are coming from, what we stand for and where we are heading.
Tallebudgera Valley is a significant nature corridor connected to Springbrook along the MacPherson Ranges. The Valley corridor includes ‘substantial remnants’ and ‘critical corridors’ and encompasses land under a broad spectrum of tenures and uses. We believe that collective positive conversations help facilitate community spirit which in turn fosters prosperity and protects the environment.
We acknowledge that nature and culture are profoundly interlocked and together deliver environmental, social and economic benefits to ecological and human communities.
