Free energy from the sun? Lets Go!

With the generous help of our sponsors, the Friends of Royal Park, in particular Phil Allen and Andrea Mason have achieved a long held goal of adding solar energy to the club house in Warrenheip street.

Andre and Susan the owners of www.herbs2home.com.au are pleased to provide support to the Friends of Royal Park. This solar project builds on our partnership with FORP through the sale of our Greensmart pots and is an important part of helping a wonderful regional community organisation.

Local groups Garibaldi Environment Group , Upper Williamson's Creek Landcare Group and the Leigh Catchment Group know that sustainability in our region requires addressing urgent issues around land and biodiversity and the way we manage our energy and resources into the future.
