Community for Creatures: Maitland banner painting (NSW)

Australians love our country's unique creatures, and the places that they call home. But nature in Australia is in trouble. 2,000 Australian plants and animals are on the threatened species list, and the list is growing. We need strong new laws that actually protect nature. 

Communities across Australia are coming together to send a clear message to politicians: communities nationwide love Australian creatures and we want strong action to save them from extinction.

At this local event led by the Hunter Alliance we will:

• Write, draw on and paint a large Community for Creatures banner, which will be delivered to our Member of Parliament (MP) – see a mock-up of the banner below!
• Write personalised messages to be delivered to our MP about why we want nature protected. 
• Have activities for children, including decorating a model native animal and painting animals onto paper hats. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
