Sutherland Shire Environment Centre is teaming up with the Nature Conservation Council to support a Statewide Picnic for Nature!
Our picnic is being held at Fig Tree Flat at Audley in the Royal National Park, and this will be a great opportunity for our members to catch up. Everyone is welcome, so if you are keen this is a good chance to find out more about our campaigns and advocacy.
We’d like to continue to build a community which supports better environmental outcomes and a sustainable future for all of us.
If you’re up for some exciting nature encounters you’re also welcome to join us for a bird watching tour along beautiful Lady Carrington Drive.

The screening is free and all are welcome.
