When: 6 - 7.30pm, Monday 20 May 2019
Where: Wilderness Society Office, 351-355 King Street, West Melbourne

At this Meet Up we will discuss:

• Other business

Meet Ups happen when people create them and there are a few roles free to step into.

Freya and Tria have started a list - pop your name next to the role you want this time, and add to the list if you notice a gap.

Are you feeling dismayed by the results of Saturday's Federal election? Dismayed for nature and the climate? Now is not the time to give up hope; now is the time to work together and build our power. We know that everyone, no matter their voting intention or political affiliation, loves nature and wants to protect it. We must continue demonstrating this to our State and Federal Leaders.

Come along to the next deforestation campaign team meeting next Monday 27th May from 6-7:30pm.

We have an opportunity over the next three months to show that our movement for nature is strong. You are the leaders of that movement and that is why I am inviting you to a meeting next Monday - because now, more than ever, nature needs people. 

The Queensland Government is making decisions NOW on the fate of koala habitat in Southeast Queensland. We will be calling on them to urgently protect all remaining habitat by tightening our planning laws to make it harder for big developers to bulldoze koala habitat. 

It is crucial that we show the overwhelming support that exists for protecting koala habitat. 

Will you join us next Monday to discuss and develop ideas for bringing everyone together over this important issue? It will be a great opportunity to reconnect. Light refreshments will be provided. 

A welcome lunch for all new (or returning) volunteers to find out what are we up to. 

Come and join us to find out what is the Wilderness Society is all about and how you can help. 

We will provide the food, you provide the curiosity. 

We hope to see you there!
