As Queensland celebrates NAIDOC Week, the state's government is inviting Indigenous community organisations to apply for funding to support projects aimed at caring for Country and preserving culture.

Grants of up to $75,000 can be applied for from a total pool of $500,000, made available through the latest round of the Looking After Country grants program.

Past projects funded by the program have enabled communities to care for Country and for Elders to pass knowledge to younger generations.

These included using cultural fire techniques to reduce vegetation density and restore ecosystems, and organising cultural camps to document and protect cultural sites, such as ancient rock art.

This year's grants are available to Indigenous Corporations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Councils, and other non-profits with majority Indigenous boards.

Badjuballa Aboriginal Corporation recently received $75,000 to care for the culturally significant Badjuballa Station in Kirrama Range and reconnect Elders and young people with culturally significant sites.

Badjubulla Aboriginal Corporation chairperson, Chris Kennedy said the grant enabled the Girramay people to revisit cultural sites and plan their future management through surveys, mapping, fencing, and revegetation.

"Our project is titled The Cyclone Story," he said.

"The grant allowed Girramay people to revisit these sites and plan for their future management.

"We are undertaking surveys, mapping, fencing and revegetation to protect and conserve these important cultural and story sites for the future."

Recent Looking After Country projects include a $75,000 grant to Watsonville Aboriginal Corporation to support Junior Traditional Custodians on Mbabaram Country, where Elders taught young people about plant identification and the use of cultural fire to care for Country.

Watsonville Aboriginal Corporation chairperson, Gerry Turpin said "this funding allowed knowledge-sharing workshops to be held where Elders taught young people about plant identification and the use of cultural fire to look after Country".

"The project in the Tablelands community of Watsonville will involve working in partnership with Firesticks, and the Rural Fire Brigade to pilot the use of cultural fire in an area which will increase the skills of young Mbabaram people in using this approach to managing Country."

Wangkangurru Yarluyandi Aboriginal Corporation was granted $75,000 for their project on cultural heritage management and protection of the Big Red sand dune.
