There is a great worldwide movement to protect and preserve our planet. Environment Centres and community activists play a pivotal role in mobilizing the community energy to address global concerns.

This year the Manly Environment Centre celebrates 20 years as a shopfront office providing a focal point for education, research and advocacy. There has never been a more important moment in time than now to take action. In September, the first ‘International Conference for Environment Centres & Community Activists’ will take place. The theme for the conference is driving environmental change from the community, together.

Join us on the shores of Sydney Harbour in Manly, where together we have the opportunity to share our successes, ideas and visions for the future, to bring about necessary change in creative ways.

 “Humans must join together as a species to respond to the problems we face and accept that the laws of nature must take precedence over economics," - David Suzuki.
