Green Day 2010

We’re proud to announce Green Day is about to kick off for its second year and will again draw nearly 700 Year 5 & 6 students from 19 schools across the region.

Green Day involves a circuit of activity stations where groups of students learn about environmental issues impacting on our soil, water quality, biodiversity and vegetation.

Hands-on activities are run by a number of organizations who support Green Day:

* Mid-Western Regional Council (Gold Sponsor)
* Wilpinjong Coal Pty Ltd (Gold Sponsor)
* Central West CMA (Silver Sponsor)
* NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service
* NSW Industry & Investment
* Country Energy
* LHPA
* Red Hill Environmental Education Centre
* Mudgee Compost Services
* Watershed Landcare

Thanks to our Sponsors who have come on board again for 2010, which means that all 700 students can travel to, and participate in the day for free.

The Australian Rural Education Centre (AREC) also generously support Green Day though the use of their grounds, facilities and assistance with coordination.

Reporting back next newsletter… when it’s all over and we’ve seen the last of 1000 sausage sandwiches!
