Save Mt Canobolas

An environmental and cultural assessment of the Mt Canobolas State Conservation Area currently being undertaken could clear the way for over 60 km of new mountain bike trails, plus infrastructure. This should be opposed for four reasons:

  1. The park is dedicated for nature conservation, not intensive recreation.
  2. It supports the last refuge for 20 species and communities.
  3. It is too small for such a huge development;
  4. There is no alternative home for the 1000 species that live there, but many other places where mountain biking can occur.
