Thanks for saving Bylong!


Please write a very short message, in your own words, to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for rejecting the risky Bylong coal mine.  Congratulate them for listening to the experts and protecting this incredible area for its rich soils, precious groundwater and unique heritage values. This means the historic Tarwyn Park property, the home of Natural Sequence Farming, will not be mined.

    This decision is possibly the start of what we will know as one of the biggest turning point in human kinds history! We are at the end of the coal fuelled Industrial Age and turning towards the age of information. I’m so happy to see people have finally chosen our Mother Earth over the greed of humans! Well done. Congratulations and may you be the face of the revolution away from coal.

    Sometimes we wonder whether the ‘system’ works. Your wonderful decision (ruling) restores my faith in government bodies doing the fair and right thing. Saving Bylong was the right thing. Thank you, thank you!

    To Whom it May Concern,

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank the NSW Commission for saving Bylong thus allowing it to be free of pollutants and the continuation of farming. This is a heritage of Australia. Beverley
