Looking for a fun, creative workshop with your friends? 

Keen to connect with others who care about protecting nature?

Come along to our upcoming Terrarium-making Workshop for nature 🦉🎨 You’ll learn the key ingredients to making a terrarium, meet others in your community who care about nature, and learn more about how the Wilderness Society’s Melbourne East group is campaigning for the protection of places you love - unique species and ecosystems that are iconic and that sustain life.

Right now, the Australian government is reforming our broken nature law.

Currently, their proposals are riddled with loopholes and won’t actually stop deforestation and extinctions.
The government has an urgent, once-in-a-generation opportunity to step up and pass nature laws that work.  

That means: 

• Stopping deforestation
• Ending the extinction crisis; and
• A fair say for communities, not just corporations.

Will you join our workshop to have fun and learn more about why decision makers in the Eastern Suburbs are crucial for showing the government that Australians want and expect effective nature laws?

RSVP in the top right of the page.

Date: Saturday 25th of May, 2024

Time: 2pm - 4pm 

Location: Ashburton Community Centre - Copeland Room, 160 High St, Ashburton, VIC 3147

Sustenance: Snacks and drinks will be provided

You are encouraged to come alone, or bring your friends and family (RSVP separately).

As a local community, we have a particularly important role to play at this moment.

Our Federal Member of Parliament, Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah, is one of six we have identified as particularly important to engage as the legislative reforms are being considered. If we demonstrate that we care about nature laws that actually protect forests and stop extinctions, Michelle will know this issue matters to her constituents and community. She will understand that passing mediocre laws, or failing to pass the laws nature needs, is too risky for her. She will then raise our shared concerns, and combined with the other five MPs we are targeting, will influence the outcome of this reform process. 

Join us for a fun afternoon of crafting and collective action to help send this much needed message to our elected representative.

See you there!

The Wilderness Society’s Melbourne East group.
