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 protecting agricultural land, habitat, and the wellbeing of future generations with your decision to disallow coal mining and development in the Bylong region. I am hopeful that this sets a precedent for intelligent land use in the rest of Australia, also.

Dear sirs,

You made the decision to save Bylong Valley from mining. Whilst the need for energy is great, your need for food is greater.

Thank you for making the right decision.
