Lobbying to combine 55 state managed and logged forests into one national creak. This will create a much needed wildlife corridor and protect forests, endangered species habitat and vital water catchments.

The National Parks Association (NPA) is proposing to combine 55 state-managed forests with existing national parks into one connected single national park – a wildlife corridor from the Illawarra region to the Vic border, 100km wide in places, protecting forests and vital water catchments. Ten thousand hectares of habitat for threatened ecological communities would be included in the plan, including around three-quarters of the habitat for greater gliders and yellow-bellied gliders. It also includes North Brooman State Forest, the home of the giant spotted gum Big Spotty, and Tallaganda and Mogo State Forests, which have been the subject of multiple investigations against the Forestry Corporation of NSW over the past few years. See the NPA update.

OFS has joined forces with Repower Shoalhaven to provide information about electrification for households across the region. An educational project with a program of community events, talks and roadshows providing the latest information about solar, batteries, switching appliances to electric, energy efficiency measures, EVs and car chargers and what government assistance is available to help you make the change. 

The good news is that households can save significant running costs AND reduce carbon emissions at the same time by:

• Replacing old inefficient appliances, increasing insulation and weather proofing in your home;

• Converting appliances (cooktops, air conditioning/heating, hot water systems) and vehicles to electricity;

• Powering your energy consumption from renewable energy (solar panels or clean energy retailers).

OFS is on a learning curve on about how much households and business can save by powering your energy consumption from your own renewable energy and significantly reduce carbon emissions.
