In 1998 the Society published a special little book, Living Near the Bush. The book presented “simple things that we can all do to minimize damage to natural ecosystems”.
Early in 2025, the Management Committee of the Society resolved that a new edition of Living Near the Bush was sorely needed. Living Near the Bush, second edition, sixty pages, fully revised and beautifully illustrated, is now available as a digital flipbook, as a downloadable PDF, and in a print version!

First Nations cultural heritage — Our local urban and bushland environments — Household waste, recycling, damaging impacts — Environmentally friendly gardening — Local wildlife, domestic pets and feral animals — Recreation: safety, minimal impact, access facilities — Reporting pollution and environmental damage — Preparing for, reporting and managing bushfire — Climate change
