A network for those who care for Land in Greater Sydney
Clockwise from top: Outgoing chair Rob Dulhunty (top); Local Landcare Coordinator Initiative; mingling and networking at the Macquarie Room, NSW Parliment House; GSLN and committee members and LLC Bev, Clare, Glenda and Nicola.
Committee members Bev, Glenda, Nicola and LLC Clare attended the Parliamentary Friends of Landcare (PFL) ‘Trees in the House’, celebrating the yearly achievements of the NSW Landcare community.
GSLN is here to represent the interests of members and the Greater Sydney environment. Part of this involves contacting politicians and political parties with questions on proposed policy and their position in critical environmental issues in the Greater Sydney region. This is your chance to address the politicians and parties on the environmental issues that matter most to you. We’ve started a list of questions on a wide range of topics, and are now putting it our members – you – to give advice and feedback. There are prizes for participation as a way of saying thank you too! Copies of the draft questions with space for feedback can be found here, with responses emailed back to LLC Clare.

The CPW is currently under continual threat, particularly from development, and is being reduced in size through land clearing related as a result.
