From southern qld or northern nsw and feel like a weekend hanging in the forest having some activist fun? Who wouldn’t!
Get yourself along to the QEAN camp at Wild Mountains near Rathdowney from May 7-9th. The camp has been organised by the Qld Environmental Activist Network to bring together groups and individuals working for social and environmental sustainability across southern Qld and northern NSW. Two days of workshops are being planned, with the Wild Mountains crew also contributing to the agenda. It’s a great chance to meet and share skills with other activists and organisers from around the region and chill near the Border Range rainforest.
UPDATE – we’ve got some wicked workshops planned – to give you a taster for what’s in store…
