Jo Faith, Newtown
Thank you for publishing Mandy’s beautiful article of the sentient beings amongst us, trees, our greatest protectors and allies against the forces of climate change.
My adult voice resonates this bonding. ‘Always consider the rights of Nature’.
The day the great trees were slaughtered in Railway Park my anger was primitive. I knew there would be bad ju-ju. I silently weep as I see the bad Ju Ju spreading in Byron. Loss of a park, felling of trees, loss of the rights of nature and holistic vision. I say to every child in every village: rise up and shout ‘enough is enough’.

A note from the editorial team
Some of The Echo’s editorial team: journalists Paul Bibby and Aslan Shand, editor Hans Lovejoy, photographer Jeff Dawson and Mandy Nolan
“The Echo has never underestimated the intelligence and passion of its readers. In a world of corporate banality and predictability, The Echo has worked hard for more than 30 years to help keep Byron and the north coast unique with quality local journalism and creative ideas. We think this area needs more voices, reasoned analysis and ideas than just those provided by News Corp, lifestyle mags, Facebook groups and corporate newsletters.
The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent. As you have probably gathered from what is happening in the media industry, it is not cheap to produce a weekly newspaper and a daily online news service of any quality.
We have always relied entirely on advertising to fund our operations, but often loyal readers who value our local, independent journalism have asked how they could help ensure our survival.
Any support you can provide to The Echo will make an enormous difference. You can make a one-off contribution or a monthly one. With your help, we can continue to support a better informed local community and a healthier democracy for another 30 years.”
