Cookie Cutter Killing Suburban Treescapes

Sydney's tree-lined suburbs are already being replaced by cookie cutter streetscapes - the removal of a cluster of casurinas in Avalon for a bed of small plants offering no shade for humans or birdlife is just one example. 

Byles Creek Owl Family

Family of owls faces eviction - these powerful owls live in Byles Creek Valley where residents are fighting to save them. Call Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton today to let her know you care. #SOSgreenspaces

Autumn Newsletter Editorial

Our Autumn Newsletter came out this week. The winter edition will be available online, with hard copy sent to our supporters. Here's TEC Director Jeff Angel's Autumn editorial about the quality of life we cherish in our city - is enough being done to protect it or are we losing the very natural assets that make Sydney such a beautiful place to live, work and bring up a family?

Aussie Wildlife Crisis

Our native wildlife are about to become refugees in their own country as new land clearing laws unleash a wave of tree chopping across NSW. The homes of millions of endangered animals will be razed. But we have six weeks to Say No! #standup4nature

Green Spaces Champion

MP Jo Haylen stood up in Parliament last week to decry the lack of green space in her Summer Hill electorate - "no parks, no places to play!" She commended TEC's SOS Green Spaces map - so today we dropped in to discuss it with her. #nswpol#sosgreenspaces

TEC GREENS UP

We get around! This week it was Parliament House with Greens MPs keen to discuss our SOS Green Spaces campaign. This cortisol driven city needs every green breathing space it already has and will need many more in the future.

TEC BEING EFFECTIVE

A rare glimpse of TEC at work - every day we toil behind the scenes to push for policy enlightenment on behalf of our trees, resources and wild life. But we usually can't take a photo of meetings like these!

Stop the Carnage

A massive wave of tree clearing is threatening the future of our koalas, and other wildlife right now, because of new land clearing laws passed by the NSW Government. But together we can ACT NOW to tell Premier Berejiklian this must stop - or koalas will continue to die. We've created a letter you can send her....

The Trees Are Listening!

Even without using a "brain", new research indicates that plant intelligence rivals that of humans. (And let's face it we don't use ours as much as we should). On Monday Drive this week we chatted with Dr Monica Gagliano, about how plants don't like noise pollution anymore than we do.
