With the deadline for submissions on the proposed Tidbinbilla Management Plan looming, now is the ideal time to discuss how we want the Tidbinbilla precinct (Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Birrigai and Jedbinbilla) to be managed.

This forum will have a panel for questions and answers, which will then flow into open discussion. Sitting on the panel will be Trish Bootes from TAMS, Kevin Frawley the author of the management plan and a representative from National Parks Association.

The Conservation Council ACT urges member groups in particular to take advantage of this opportunity and attend the forum to discuss issues arising from the plan.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided. Entry by gold coin donation, member groups and eco-activists free!

How is this investagation going to be run and what does the community see as important for our nature reserves? Find out and have an opportunity to ask your own questions at this month's Member Forum.

Late last year the Conservation Council held a Member Forum to discuss some of the many issues surrounding the planning of Coombs and Wright.

The Jerrabomberra Wetlands are the most significant wetlands in the ACT.

The new East Lake Urban development will be in close proximity to this important habitat and, as with all new developments, has the potential to affect it’s delicate ecosystem.
