VISION
We are local residents striving to create a community that nurtures urban forests, open spaces and natural assets.
MISSION
To encourage Geelong people to join us in making real the vision in these ways:
· Preserving the site of the former Geelong Golf Course from any proposed development other than as an urban forest
· Fostering awareness of the value of enhancing the site’s biodiversity and its links to nearby wildlife corridors
· Raising the understanding of this site and others as areas of vegetation which absorb carbon emissions
· Appreciating the site’s many tangible and intangible benefits to our community - past, present and future
· Building constructive relationships with all levels of government, business and the health and education sectors.

Hi guys, I've spent the weekend (Fri night, Sat and Sun) at Lorne for the All will be well festival. Once of the speakers was Prof Mark Cohen - a GP with about a zillion other qualifications - and he spoke about 'wellness' as a concept. Amazing presentation and made an incredibly strong case for the importance of open spaces/nature reserves/community gardens. The presentation was recorded so once burnt to disc I'll pass it on :) Cheers, Andrew Lucas (Transition Bell)
