The Organisation

The Bidwern Butj Uni is a partnership between Warddeken Land Management and Mimal Land Management, dedicated to supporting the people and landowners of West and Central Arnhem Land by delivering benefits to Country and culture.

Warddeken and Mimal lead holistic ranger programs, including highly valued women's ranger teams, focusing on savanna burning, biodiversity conservation, native species monitoring, invasive species control, and intergenerational knowledge sharing.

The Bidwern Butj Uni addresses gaps in training by delivering fit-for-purpose professional development that empowers Bininj staff to progress from ranger roles to senior leadership positions. Backed by a five-year funding commitment, this Bininj-led initiative is trialling innovative approaches to adult education and ranger training, setting a benchmark for on-Country learning.

Supported by the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program, the Uni delivers tailored Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital Skills training to enhance job readiness, further education opportunities, and community engagement.
