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!

Jo Vandermark commented 2019-09-18 16:26:07 +1000Thank you for saving Bylong! I am 81 and living on the other end of the continent, but I have five grandchildren in NSW so I am thanking you on their behalf. -
Harry Johnson commented 2019-09-18 16:25:58 +1000Many, many thanks for rejecting the proposed risky Bylong coal mine. Great news indeed for local residents, including the non-voting flora, fauna and fungi and other vital natural attributes including precious and now scarce water supplies.
One less new coal mine will be of great long term benefit to our young children still too long to vote in heir future being increasingly threatened by the climate emergency which is occurring on our adult watch. -
Brian Stevens commented 2019-09-18 16:25:51 +1000Somewhere, some time there had to be a piece of land that has more value as it stands, than its value as a coal mine.
