SUMMARY:ACF Sydney online screening of 'Corals' Last Stand' film
DESCRIPTION:As you are probably aware\, the new federal Environment Minister\, Murray Watt\, has recently approved an extension of the Woodside gas production facility near Karratha in Western Australia for 40 years\, until 2070. This is an appalling decision but our attention now needs to turn to stopping Woodside’s proposal to drill for gas in the Browse Basin near Scott Reef. If we can do that\, we will significantly reduce the supply of gas to the Karratha facility. \nScott Reef is a truly magical place\, home to a wide variety of marine life including pygmy blue whales and green turtles.  And it will be under serious threat if drilling at Browse Basin goes ahead. Corals’ Last Stand is a beautiful film about Scott Reef and how important it is that it be protected. \nACF AWR\, ACF GWS and other groups are hoping that the film will help build a movement in the communities of Greater Western Sydney\, and in other places across Australia\, in support of effective nature protection and an end to approving new and expanded fossil fuel projects. \nOn Monday 28 July at 7.30pm\, ACF Greater Western Sydney Community Group is hosting an online screening of the film Corals’ Last Stand.  ACF AWR and other groups will also be participating in this screening. We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful film. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:John Paul Memorial Lecture - Deep nature connection: caring for nature in crisis
DESCRIPTION:‘We cannot protect something we do not love\, we cannot love what we do not know\, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense’ – Louv. \nNature needs us more than ever – and we need nature. As we face the increasing biodiversity crisis fuelled by environmental destruction and climate change\, deepening our connection with nature is vital. By deepening our understanding of nature\, we can better protect it. \nHow do we encourage more people to connect with nature? How do we inspire people to care? And how does this relate to private land conservation and restoration efforts across Victoria and Australia more broadly? \nOn 17 October\, 7pm AEST\, join us for a free webinar on Zoom to hear from three experts whose work focuses on human-nature connection: Lily van Eeden\, Claire Dunn and Fiona Murdoch.

SUMMARY:Have your say: Greater Hume Council proposed tree clearing
DESCRIPTION:Greater Hume Council wants to seal an existing dirt road – Jelbart Road\, Jindera. The existing remnant vegetation by the  road provides a corridor for wildlife.\n\n\nThe stretch of road to be sealed is only around 1.5km long and Council has indicated that they propose to remove somewhere between 80-90 trees of various DBHs and distances from the centre of the existing road. Some clearly cannot be a threat to falling onto the road as their main trunk leans towards the private landholding.\n\n\nThe proposal does not align with Council’s vision of “valuing community assets including natural resources”. Nor its commit to an “urban forest” environment.\n\n\nThe area is a known corridor for squirrel gliders\, and a range of other hollow dependent fauna. It also a seed collection area used by the Local Land Services. \n\nPlease email Council – mail@greaterhume.nsw.gov.au and urge them at least to change the proposal so that the road still get sealed\, but significantly few trees are removed and any trees that are hollow bearing have the hollows kept on site and placed within the existing remnants at a height of at least three metres.\n\n\nYou have until August 6th.
