Tourism and NSW national parks
Some rather exciting news that could mean better access to NSW National Parks may be forthcoming in the future.
The NSW Government's State Plan seeks to increase visitation to our national parks, and reserves by 20 per cent by 2016. To meet this target it is vital that we provide high quality and diverse visitor experiences and promote these special places effectively, while ensuring the protection of their conservation values.
...
Submissions are invited from interested individuals and organisations on tourism and national parks. Written submissions are invited, and should be lodged by close of business Monday 29 August 2008.
Yes - I know - August 29 this year is not a Monday, they must mean the Friday that week.
The addresses for submission are on the page this was taken from here:
http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/commercial/tou...
Any suggestions about what needs to be said in response? If you do write can you please post about it in the Action I've Taken forum.

New NSWMTB Trail Advocacy List
The good folk over at NSWMTB are getting organised. They are trying to co-ordinate advocacy actions at state level and to this end setup a Wiki a while back, and now a mailing list.
I believe the plan is that the mailing list will be low volume for announcements and organising action when it needs to be taken. If you don't want to miss a chance to help advocacy campaigns it's probably a good plan to join this list.
There's a link to the list top of their Wiki, here:
