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.

    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
