Author: BEAM Mitchell Environment Group Inc July 25, 2024 Duration: 48:22
This week Marie Gerrard and Peter Lockyer chat with Elyse Kelly, Mitchell Shire Council's Environment Coordinator about a range of plans to enhance the local environment in our beautiful shire. Elyse has worked at the Mitchell Shire Council for several years and during that time there have been many improvements in the protection of our very diverse area. In the coming months there will be a range of consultation opportunities for the public to comment on various Council plans related to the environment.They also have details of the National Tree Day on Sunday 28th July where there will be opportunities for everyone to take part. 

Every Tuesday, the team at the BEAM Mitchell Environment Group Inc sits down for EarthChat, a weekly conversation that digs into the environmental questions that matter locally and resonate globally. Hosted by Vanessa, Peter, Ruth, and Tim, this isn't just a rundown of headlines; it's a thoughtful exploration where science, policy, business, and community action intersect. You'll hear genuine discussions that consider the practical realities and the hopeful solutions for the planet's most pressing issues. Originally broadcast on Seymour FM, each episode of this podcast captures the spirit of those live, midday conversations-whether you catch the Tuesday broadcast or the Saturday repeat. The dialogue is grounded, informed by the group's non-profit perspective, and always aimed at making sense of complex topics. Tuning into EarthChat means joining a community of listeners who are curious, concerned, and ready to engage. It’s a space where environmental news moves beyond commentary and into the realm of tangible, shared understanding. So find the episode that piques your interest, and get ready for a chat that informs and inspires action.
