In celebration of United Nations (UN) World Environment Day
Get ready to celebrate World Environment Day with ABC Gardening Australia presenter and native landscape specialist, Clarence Slockee as he teams up with host Ranger Stacey for an interactive Q&A session.
Clarence Slockee is a Cudgenburra/Bundjalung Aboriginal man with a long family history of bushmen, farmers and fishermen growing up in the Tweed Valley. Clarence has 20 years of experience in environmental and cultural education, including roles with the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and more recently as Director and founder of Jiwah, a 100% Aboriginal owned company that delivers a range of collaborative projects including urban native species green space.
He is a graduate from the National Aboriginal & Islander Skills Development Association (NAISDA) Dance College and has gained experience across a broad range of performance mediums, but his passion remains with his farming roots and ensuring the biodiversity of native species.
For the past 10 years Clarence has been a familiar face on television screens across the nation as a presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia. With regular segments on the TV series, he continues to educate people about medicinal, cultural and edible native plant species unique to the Australian landscape.
A graduate of UTS Business School, Clarence is currently working with a broad range of collaborators to incorporate Indigenous cultural perspectives into green space urban design.
Clarence will share his knowledge about native edible plants and bush food at a separate workshop.

Classically trained dancer and Gubbi Gubbi / Ugarapul woman, Soraya Fewquandie-Scott will perform three engaging dances throughout the day. Black Cockatoo, Footsteps and Yirimi Gundir, an interactive dance to Uncle Fred Leone's song which translates to mean 'imitate me.' Soraya strives to bring cultural awareness through the art of dance. She is skilled across many dance styles and is a well-respected, recognised member of the Indigenous community and has performed with BooinGari Festival and the Dawn Awakening Ceremony. She has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Xavier Rudd, Djakaurra Munyarryun, Radical Son, Andrew Kirwin and Gubbi Gubbi Indigenous leaders Lyndon Davis and Brent Miller.
