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.
Thanks for saving Bylong!

With drought and water shortages on the Eastern side of this vast country it is so important to preserve and care about rich viabke farm lands such as the Bylong Valley. So thank you for making the decision to refuse the coal mine
