SUMMARY:Protect Ngununggula/ Bluetts Block and the WEIA Community forum
DESCRIPTION:Canberra is home to incredible places and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. \nBut nature in Australia and our region is declining – under pressure from a warming climate\, roads and infrastructure fragmenting habitats\, deforestation and exploitation.  \nRight here our woodlands\, grasslands and habitat for wildlife are facing potential destruction as the ACT Government has flagged plans for the Territory’s urban footprint to expand to the west of the city\, this is known as the Western Edge Investigation Area.  \nBordered by the Murrumbidgee River and the regions of Weston Creek\, Molonglo Valley and Belconnen\, the landscape of the Western Edge is home to some of the ACT’s most significant nature. Ngununggula/ Bluetts Block is part of the Western Edge – home to local threatened species including many threatened and rare woodland birds such as the endangered Painted Button-quail\, Diamond Firetail\, Dusky Woodswallow and Scarlet Robin.  \n			\n				Find out more about Bluetts Block\n			\n				Find out more about the WEIA\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join the Conservation Council on the evening of the 3rd October for a community forum to learn about the Western Edge Investigation Area and how you can protect Ngununggula/ Bluetts Block.  \nWe’ll hear from a range of speakers and join in a panel discussion.  \nHear from a range of speakers on matters including:  \n\nAn overview of and timeline for the Western Edge Investigation Area \nThe flora and fauna of Ngununggula/ Bluetts Block\nThe bushfire risk of an expanding city\nThe Importance of landscape connectivity \nLearn what you can do to protect Ngununggula/ Bluetts Block as a nature reserve\n\nThe panel features a range of perspectives.
