July bushwalk: sorry!
Due to a mix-up we failed to provide a walk leader for the Umina bushwalk last month. Our apologies. Luckily a local resident stepped in to lead the walk.

PEG needs you
We must stress PEG urgently needs 3 or 4 more people to remain in existence. We’ve got lots of exciting ideas but we really do need more people. Talk to us at one of our events about being part of PEG.

Green Loans Assessments
The Government is offering FREE 90-minute home “sustainability assessments” as part of a new Green Loans Program. Assessors will identify ways you can save energy and water, and advise on rebates and grants for solar, insulation, etc. You’ll also be eligible for an interest-free loan to pay for recommendations in the report, but that’s optional. To get an assessment, email Encourage your friends to sign up for an assessment too – it will get them thinking about energy saving and sustainability.
