What We Do

South Cape York Catchments (SCYC) is a not-for-profit community based Natural & Cultural Resource Management organisation, with 24 years of experience delivering projects across Cape York. We work in partnership with Traditional Owners, volunteers, Indigenous Rangers, and young people to create meaningful employment, training, and youth engagement opportunities. We host three Indigenous Ranger Programs and provide ad-hoc support to many others, host up to twelve community events each year, and manage projects that support community and landholders to engage in improved land management activities. Together, we undertake works including fire management, weed control, cultural heritage protection, ecosystem monitoring, feral animal management, water quality monitoring, erosion control, community beach clean-ups, and threatened species surveys.
