DIARY DATES
22nd April EARTH DAY Invest in Our Planet – What will you do?
This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods.
For Earth Day 2022, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet. Change starts with action https://www.earthday.org/take-action-now/
23rd April 10.00am – 12.30pm Biodiversity Bushwalk – 10kms out of Mudgee, medium difficulty, off the beaten track and up the hill (the views are worth it!) Hosted by Watershed Landcare
