Caring for Country

Caring for Country is a personal recount of Ken's time as an adult in which he spent many years as a Fisheries Officer in South Australia, educating the public about the importance of looking after their marine environment. He worked with both commercial and recreational fishers to spread his message about sustainability and the importance of Caring for Country. In his later years as an educator, Ken continues to spread this important message far and wide.

Ken Jones is a proud Boandik Elder from South Australia. Ken has always shown a keen interest in the importance of sustainability and the environment and his current work as an educator reinforces and extends this passion. His knowledge of Australian flora and fauna is extensive and his achievements are many and varied, including his award for 2019 NAIDOC Male Elder of the Year, Boandik Community.
