Ballina Environmental Society (BES) acknowledges the essential role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play in caring for land and sea country. BES recognises the Bundjalung Nation, the Nyangbul people, and the Widjabul Wia-bal people as Ballina Traditional Custodians paying respect to their past, present and emerging Elders.
We extend the respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and to all Elders past, present and emerging.
