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!

Kammy Hunt commented 2019-09-18 15:20:30 +1000It has been a very long time since we have been able to celebrate a good news story where people, animals, the environment, lifestyle and amenity for many have triumphed over profits for a few at the expense of all those things that make life worthwhile. I was losing hope in our race, our culture, our spirit, but this gives me reason to feel joy and hope for the future for all.
Thank you so much for seeing it this way, and being bold enough to act in this way – you may have started something BIG! -
