The Charlestown volunteer team are hosing this submission writing workshop for anyone in the community who is interested.

The evening will begin with a presentation about what submissions are, why we write them and the tips for making them effective.

Then there will be an opportunity for you to write your own submission to the 10 yearly review of the Environmental Protection, Biodiversity and Conservation Act (EPBC).

This is our most important piece of environmental laws and we want to ensure that the law is strengthened rather than weakened in order to stop the current extinction crisis in Australia.

Have your say!

When: Tuesday 25th February 5.30pm till 7.30pm

Where: Club Charlestown in the Ferris Room. 5 Lincoln Street, Charlestown.

The more submissions we can generate, the more the panel will be compelled to make improvements.

Join us for the meet up of Wilderness Society Homebush Action Group. We're a group of local community members who love where we live and want to be part of a positive movement for nature 🌿

WHEN: Tuesday 25 February, 6:30pm - 8pm
WHERE: 19 Nowranie St, Summer Hill
WHO: You, me, our community members and mates who also want to get to work to protect the places we love

Please RSVP so we have an idea on numbers. All are welcome, so please share with your networks and invite friends and family.
