SUMMARY:Save our Western Edge (and fund it!) Volunteer Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Come along to our volunteer information session to find out how you can get involved in the community campaign to save Canberra’s Western Edge from unsustainable\, unaffordable and dangerous urban sprawl development and secure funding for its restoration as a part of the national 1% for Nature campaign. After the formal portion of the event\, there will be the option to stick around and share a warm\, vegan meal with fellow participants! \nSince August of last year\, we have collected over 1\,700 signatures on the campaign petition\, sent over a thousand emails to our MLAs calling for their support and directly questioned the Planning Minister during our first rally of the campaign.  And while the ACT Government has been scrambling in response to our pressure\, they are still only talking of vague plans for conservation and planning rather than making any real decisions about saving our Western Edge – so we need to keep upping the ante. \nBut this isn’t just about saving the Western Edge from development! This year we\, alongside other Conservation Councils around the country\, launched our national campaign to secure 1% of the federal budget for restoring places of natural value. Winning this new campaign would mean not just protecting the Western Edge\, but securing funding to regenerate it as well! \nThat’s where YOU come in – we need more volunteers on the ground to keep the campaign growing in its numbers and scope. Whether it’s calling people who are interested in volunteering\, talking to people about the campaign out in the community\, or attending meetings with our politicians\, there’s something for everyone to get involved with no matter your availability\, skills or interests. \nSo come along to our volunteer information session to meet fellow volunteers\, get connected with your local campaign team and walk away with an impactful role that suits you! Register here: https://events.humanitix.com/save-our-western-edge-and-fund-it-volunteer-information-session \nIf you can’t make this session but would still like to get involved\, then you can skip right ahead to completing our volunteer sign-up form and we will be in touch over the phone to get you started.
