is an incorporated, non-profit charitable organisation directed by a management committee.

The Centre is staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers and is self-funding through tax-deductible donations, fund-raising activities, and membership subscriptions.

History and Change
Born from the inspired activism of the Terania Creek campaign in 1979 and incorporated in 1982, the Big Scrub Environment Centre has grown and evolved from a small office in Lismore, through many incarnations, into the cyber age.

Over the past two decades, the centre has been staffed by scores of dedicated activists and volunteers who based their environmental campaigns and educational projects from the Lismore office.

As the Howard Government continues to introduce ‘shoot the messenger’ policies which disadvantage voluntary organisations – affecting funding grant eligibilities, insurance requirements and volunteer workers - the Big Scrub Environment Centre is by necessity moving into the age of e-networking.

Members and Future Newsletters
In its new incarnation, the Big Scrub Environment Centre will no longer post hard-copy newsletters to members. We will continue to provide current environmental information and updates via our website.

If you would like to receive an electronic version of future newsletters, please email us your own email address and any updated contact details.

We look forward to your continuing support in our cyber age and anticipate a growing number of activists interested in e-networking through and with the Big Scrub Environment Centre.

Thanks
Thanks to all past, present and future members for their support in keeping the Big Scrub Environment Centre alive and active over the past two decades.
