Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said the workshops would provide a number of ideas for residents to help the environment.

“Council is committed to investigating and working on more sustainable practices and having residents join the cause is very important,” Cr Fedeli said.

“Being sustainable can improve the quality of our lives, protect our ecosystem and preserve natural resources for future generations.

“Our upcoming Sustainability Workshops have something for everyone to learn from and I encourage residents to take part.”

Last year, Council was recognised for its sustainability prowess after achieving Silver Partner status in the Sustainability Advantage program.

The environmental milestone program, facilitated by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE), recognises environmental improvements made by organisations.
