Monthly Meeting

Lyndal Sullivan presents

"From Bushwalk to Bushcare"

730pm Thursday 26th January 2012

What better way to spend Australia Day than to celebrate the good things happening here in the Blue Mountains!

Bushland in the mountains has lots of friends, and needs them.

Whether it be in the National Park, on private property or in a public Reserve, our bushland is constantly under threat.

Lyndal will outline the wide range of skills and passions that contribute to the protection of bushland in the mountains.

Bushcare is just one part of this community's efforts to protect the Blue Mountains.

If you are a bushcare volunteer, this talk will give you a picture of how Bushcare fits into Council's overall environmental strategy to protect and restore natural areas. Also how Council and NPWS work together.

Or if you have ever wondered what Bushcare is all about, here's your chance to find out and ask questions. You'll discover that Bushcare is more than just pulling out weeds or planting.

About the presenter: Lyndal has been coordinating the Bush-care program at Blue Mountains City Council since 2008.

Prior to this she was an active member of The Society's Land Use Sub Committee and the Management Committee.
