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!

Tammy Fleming commented 2019-09-18 15:46:33 +1000Thank you for your decision to prevent the proposed mining of the Bylong Valley. It encourages a feeling of hope that our parliamentary and statutory bodies accept the science of climate change; can listen to the wishes of a local community; have acknowledged the importance of regenerative agriculture as developed at Tarwyn Park; and perhaps most importantly, have given due recognition to the value of critical groundwater systems. Just brilliant.
