SUMMARY:Spring Pilliga Tag-a-long Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Pilliga Tag-along tour is a not-for-profit tour. It is an activist tour aiming to educate and highlight the dire impacts of coal seam gas. It is tour that contrasts the beauty of the Pilliga with the visible impacts of mining. \nCar sharing is encouraged\, as fuel is the largest cost. Self-catering is an option; costs are kept to a minimum. \nThree Day Mid Week Discovery Tour\nStart with a full tank of fuel in Coonabarabran or Narrabri \nDay 1 We will visit either the Barradine Forest Discovery Centre\, the Sculptures In The Scrub or Fire tower and Salt Caves and the Sandstone Caves. From the top of the fire tower enjoy extensive views of The Pilliga\, with views of the Warrumbungles and Mount Kaputar. If time permits we will visit Dandry Gorge; take a 3 km walk to see the beauty of this rugged country and the amazing sculptures\, then a 1.7km walk to view the beautiful colours and Aboriginal art in the Sandstone Caves. \nDay 2 we tour the coal seam gas fields: visit ‘produced water’ spills; and see poorly rehabilitated areas on old exploration sites\, gas pipelines\, pilot production wells\, and previously unlined produced water ponds. Santos’s infrastructure and hear about the risks to the Great Artesian Basin. \nThe Santos leasehold in the Gunnedah Basin includes 53 current wells in the Pilliga and 850 proposed wells in the Pilliga and adjoining farmlands. \nPat Schultz\, National Parks association\, Armidale Branch \nBookings essential Phone or message Pat {mobile prefix oh for}28725852 \n

SUMMARY:Free talk: David Holmgren 'Weeds or Wild Nature'
DESCRIPTION:David is back in Armidale to start a discussion on the night of the Strawberry Moon titled ‘weeds or wild nature’. His last presentation ‘Aussie Street’ packed the Armidale Town Hall 6 years ago promoting his popular book RetroSuburbia: The Downshifter’s Guide to a Resilient Future. David Holmgren is a bit of a legend\, he is the co-originator of the permaculture concept\, following publication of Permaculture One\, co-authored with Bill Mollison in 1978. David is a pioneering voice in sustainable design and ecological stewardship. With decades of experience and insight\, his work has inspired a global movement towards regenerative living. \n‘Weeds or wild nature’ presentation and discussion will start with the premise that  land design and management informed by permaculture principles tends to treat naturalised newcomer plants as assets that stabilise water and soil\, build biomass\, fix nutrients\, ameliorate microclimate and provide habitat\, fodder\, fuel and food. While naturalised species may be given a lower value in permaculture design than species regarded as indigenous to the site and region\, labelling naturalised species as ‘invasive’ or ‘environmental weeds’ is typically rejected as anti-ecological thinking. \nThe background and basis for this positive view of naturalised plants is not well understood\, and has led to persistent criticism of permaculture by those promoting the orthodox view of ‘weeds’ as invasives. This has itself influenced the practices and teaching of many permaculturists to moderate or compromise the permaculture approach to naturalised species. Consequently the ‘weeds or wild nature’ controversy is alive and well within the permaculture movement. \nIn this presentation\, co-originator of the permaculture concept\, David Holmgren will provide his unique perspective on the evolution of this discourse and its connection to the wider debate on this issue in conservation and land management networks. David’s story is partly a historical and personal one as well as a review of the scientific literature on the subject. \nHolmgren offers profound guidance for creating resilient ecosystems and communities. Holmgren’s expertise and passion for sustainable living promise to ignite transformative dialogue and empower individuals to enact positive change.\nKey publications include Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability (2002) and Future Scenarios: How Communities Can Adapt To Peak Oil and Climate Change (2009) and RetroSuburbia: The Downshifter’s Guide to a Resilient Future (2018).\n\nIt will be a great night with a visonary thinker and some passionate discussion followed by a social supper. Free talk\, no need to RSVP.

SUMMARY:Talk: Healthy and sustainable food systems
DESCRIPTION:We have undertaken research into how to simultaneously improve human and planetary health by building alternative community food infrastructures (CFIs) that are socially and environmentally just. This has all been part of the Armidale Climate and Health Project\, supported by funding from UNE. At this free public presentation we will share the results of our research and our plans for the next steps events in the community. \nThe talk will be given by Jen Hamilton and Nikki Larder\, researchers from UNE. \nBackground: \nCFIs are small-scale\, physical and organisational structures and facilities that support the development of healthy and sustainable food systems and communities. They enable access to healthy food for marginalised groups who suffer a disproportionate chronic disease and health burden\, while also supporting the adaptation of the wider agri-food system. Examples include community gardens\, food cooperatives\, food banks\, food relief services\, free or low cost soup kitchens and community dinners\, food co-ops and pay-what-you can restaurants. \nWe are especially interested in collective community meal provision\, and have experimented with different kinds of community meals in Armidale and also researched community meal initiatives across greater Sydney. One of the things we found is that it is very hard for community organisations to find affordable food to provide for the community in need while also sourcing sustainably produced food. This food tends to be more expensive and a luxury item for wealthier people. We are interested in this dilemma and the barriers involved in addressing it\, because both to long term public health and wellbeing and also to climate adaptation.
