Traditional Land Management
This resource has been created to support the Year 5 Unit of Work- Impacts on Environment. It contains a reading task providing students with information about traditional land management. Students are then required to demonstrate their new understanding by illustrating and annotating one of the techniques the First Australian Peoples used, to sustainably manage the land for thousands of years before colonisation.
