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.

Thank you so much for being aware of the health of our planet, listening to the experts, believing them and being willing to make appropriate decisions. I am encouraged to note that you have acted truly independently and have remained unaffected by the blinkered view of our elected politicians, which tries so hard to prop up the ageing fossil fuel industries, beyond reasonable use by date.
