They are vital wildlife corridors and include some of the best remaining examples of the grassy woodlands that used to cover the better soils across the tablelands. Tenders are open for 5-year grazing leases over many of them. Do stock and graziers always get priority over conserving natural values?

DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Living Armidale (SLA)\, Electrify Armidale\, and partners are excited to be bringing a new program to Armidale this year\, the Armidale Community-Driven Shift to Renewable Energy and Sustainability.

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.

SUMMARY:Pilliga Tag–Along Tours
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. \n\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.\n\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  Email pat.schultz@bigpond.com  Phone or message Pat {mobile prefix oh for}28725852
