Bruce Boddington on the importance of community leading urban environmental initiatives.

In 2020 we had the pleasure of speaking with Bruce Boddington, the chair of Nature West, on what role the community has in local environmental and conservation action. This conversation has stayed with me because of Bruce’s back-story and because of his wise reflections on community leadership and getting stuff done collectively!


Bruce was part of the Wyndham Building Blocks program in 2015 and has actioned his passion for the environment through big and small actions, including picking up litter in a local wetland, to chairing a local environmental organisation called NatureWest.


Follow the link below to our Conversations from the Hot House page to hear what Bruce had to say about his local community and his passion for the environment and sustainability.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, especially the lands of the Kulin Nations whose countries surround the city of Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), where we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

 

We recognise their sovereignty and continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and the importance of the current and ongoing dialogue for Treaty and a Voice to parliament. We recognise the sorrow this struggle brings and admire their strength to continue. We are appalled by the impact of our colonial past but see that all of us have benefited from this dispossession.

 

We give our commitment to being good allies towards the achievement of justice and healing. This includes honouring the work and ways of knowing of First Nations people with whom we collaborate.

We publicly acknowledge the grief, loss, sadness and vulnerability of survivors and victims of family, private & gender-based violence. In recognition we commemorate children, young people, adults and older adults surviving and those who have died as a result of such violence. Please take 30 seconds of quiet contemplation for change and reflect on HOPE, COURAGE and HEALING for victims, our community and ourselves.

Thank you Güler Altunbas for these words. See www.shrineforus.com
