Picnic event at Mundaring Sculpture Park, June 16

Despite a bit of rain, this event was a great success, with new contacts established and added to the list. All six PHCCIG committee members attended, and in all we gained seven new contacts. Steve Gates from the Nature Reserves Preservation Group also attended. The invitation was to other local groups who are working for climate action or environmental protection to meet with a view to sharing ideas and information at a very informal meet and greet.  read more …

From the Committee

The PHCCIG committee continues to work hard to advance action on climate change. We are currently working with a much smaller committee, as founding members have taken much needed (short and long) leave. We are in the process of trying to attract new members and to amalgamate with organisations with similar values to increase our influence when advocating for climate change and environmental issues.  Click here to read more about what PHCCIG has been up to since April.
