It is wonderful to see how much Sydney's many councils have begun to put real effort into creating outstanding free Sustainability events for the people of Sydney in the last few years.

In the next two months, there are a variety of workshops, walks, and talks that educate and provide real useful and practical skills for the average Sydney-sider so that they can have ownership over making their little part of Sydney and more sustainable place.

Is There Anything Good About Weeds?

Date: Saturday 12 March, 9 am
Venue: Earthwise Cottage, 28 Britannia Street, Pennant Hills

For many of us, the art and science of identifying 'weeds' in our environment that can be utilized as food sources has been forgotten. If, like me, this is something you lament, Hornsby Council is putting on a free workshop that you just might be interested in.

This is an amazing opportunity to learn from #book_foraging_tours ">Diego Bonetto the well-known Sydney naturalist and edible weed specialist. Diego is part of the team working on the Wild Food Map - a fantastic web-based concept for helping people to identify useful and edible plants around them.

Book your place here or for more information call 9847 6362.
Walk - Blackbutt Gully

Date: Saturday 2nd April, 1.30 pm
Venue: Earthwise Cottage, 28 Britannia Street, Pennant Hills

Discover the plant community within the Blackbutt Gully Forest with this informative walk. Please make your booking here .

It has to be said that some of the councils do reserve their free workshops for residents of their municipalities - which is understandable. Some councils have a policy where local residents get first priority and non-residents go on a waiting list. Just be sure to clarify the hosting councils policy during the booking process. Happy learning!
