Climate and coal action rally in Bathurst on 27 April  2022.

Please find the president's report for 2021-22 here

CWEC is still meeting mostly by zoom, but the AGM will hopefully be face-to-face.

And we are also looking for ideas on how to celebrate CWE'S 30 birthday next year.

 Our AGM was also by zoom.   No change in committee this year.

This protest was to highlight the need to stop opening up areas for coal mining and to take real action to mitigate climate change was really well attended by CWEC representatives from all over the Central West (despite the pouring rain!).   Well done guys.

A follow up letter has been sent to Paul Toole, MP - see the submissions page. 

We have three new members in 2021 
Canobolas Conservation Alliance
Dubbo Environment Group
Futuring Orange
