01. Sign the NEW letter to politicians
The "No Hunting in National Parks" campaign was borne from a change of
legislation announced in May 2012. While the NSW Government has delivered
a program that removes amateur hunters from hunting in national parks, the
current legislation does not reflect this.
Sign our new letter asking them to approve new legislation, and help us
call for an end to amateur hunting in public land in NSW.
