Help save Anvil Hill

This June draw a line in the sand against coal and climate change at Anvil Hill in the Hunter Valley region of NSW.

Anvil Hill is under threat from a proposed coal mine, which the NSW government looks set to approve. The mine will destroy remnant bushland, displace hundreds of people and fuel dangerous climate change.

We need you to help us send a clear message to the NSW Premier Morris Iemma asking for a moratorium on all new coal mines and to reject the Anvil Hill proposal.

On the weekend of 2-3 June 2007 we want as many people as possible to peacefully protest against the proposed mine The weekend will be a family friendly gathering with tours of the mine site, films, music and more. You can camp on Saturday night if you want or stay in the nearby village of Denman. There will be cooking facilities, but also cheap food provided (including vegetarian options).

Then, on Sunday 3rd June at midday we will form a human sign reading ‘Save Anvil Hill’ near the proposed mine site. The more people we get, the stronger the message to our politicians and the coal industry that we must save Anvil Hill and our climate from coal.

If you would like to come along please send Ben Pearson an email at: ben.pearson@au.greenpeace.org. We will let you know about accommodation and transport options.

Take action

If you can’t make it to the event, email Mr Iemma asking for a moratorium on all new coal mines and to reject the Anvil Hill proposal.
