FoE president Deb Foskey said, “We live in a beautiful area with forests of many types from dry sclerophyll to cool temperate rainforest, much of which is protected in national parks.

“We are so lucky to have such significant forests in our backyard. But how often do we visit them?

“FoE formed to allow its members to develop a stronger relationship with the Errinundra National Park, but we are also interested in the Snowy River National Park.

“We work with the rangers to maintain and improve public amenities.

“Our most recent effort was the clearing of the Old Growth Walk in time for the Goongerah-Tubbut school children to walk it.

“We have assisted with the erection of notice boards so that people visiting can find out more about the national park,” Ms Foskey said.

“Learning more about our unique ecosystems is on our agenda to discuss at the AGM.

“Talks on citizen science, which has found endangered species on the plateau, and the many and varied fungi as well as a program which is bringing rock wallabies back to the Snowy River National Park, are possibilities.

“The Errinundra, though it is in Victoria, is of vital interest to Delegate residents as it is the source of Delegate’s water supply.

“It would be great if some more Delegate people joined FoE but everyone is welcome to come to our events,” Ms Foskey said.
