Call to Action

For perceived health & safety reasons, the Department of Beaches & Harbors decided that the best course of action is to fell 4 of the Coral trees in the park.  There are development plans for the Park which are suspected to be the underlying driver for these actions.  Not only will the trees be destroyed, but the plans would cause chaos for the local community and must be stopped.  Please sign up to help this campaign.
