For those who read the item and seen the photo posted by Robin Eckerman on Sunday 3rd June on the dumping of rubbish at the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, I have been informed that the Ranger based at the Wetlands has followed up on this issue.  An examination of the rubbish provided names and addresses which have subsequently been followed up.  The people concerned  stated on four separate occasions they would remove the rubbish.  This did not occur so the rubbish has now been removed by the Ranger and the culprits issued with fines.  If the fines are not paid the case will  go to court.  I believe we all have a debt of gratitude to the Ranger for acting so quickly and decisively on this most disappointing issue.

Indeed we do! Thanks for this snippet of feedback, Chris. It would be nice to see a hefty fine and some publicity to serve as a disincentive for others who might be tempted to show similar disregard for the environment and their community.
