Pagoda landscapes support a vast array of rare plant and animal life
Join us in protecting the Gardens of Stone on Sydney’s doorstep
The Gardens of Stone is a region of international significance, renowned for its sandstone pagodas, ancient forests, wild rivers and rich biodiversity. Together, we advocate for the long-term protection of this region through strong environmental safeguards, evidence-based advocacy and community action. Our work focuses on the two greatest threats facing the region today: the impacts of coal mining and inappropriate tourism development.
