Join Trish Hodge from Nita Education as she takes you on a local forage.

For more than 50,000 years, the Palawa people managed and cared for this unique island. The knowledge has continuously been passed down and Nita Education are proud to share this with you today.

Trish Hodge of Nita Education is a proud Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) woman from Trawlwoolway people in the North-East of lutruwita/Tasmania. Trish has been gathering, compiling and recording our traditional uses for native plants in lutruwita/Tasmania for over 25 years and is creating her own book on Bush Foods of lutruwita. This will be a guide for students, schools, tour guides, garden enthusiasts, bushwalkers, visitors to the state, and anyone who would like to learn more about our native plants and their uses, so in turn everyone will help care for Country.

Most importantly, Trish wants to make sure that the Palawa community, now and for the future, have access to the information as it is their knowledge.

Nita Education provides Tasmanian Aboriginal cultural experiences. They inspire to connect to their 50,000+ year old culture and encourage young Palawa/Pakana to embrace their culture
