- Events -
EYE Meetings
Bellingen EYE meets monthly, on the first Tuesday of every month, from 5:00-7:00 upstairs at the Bellingen Environment Centre (on Church Street Lane, Bellingen). All EYE members and newcomers are welcome – this is the opportunity to hear what is going on in all of the current EYE workgroups and projects, and also to get involved in future projects.
EYE Camps
See our Camps pages for details
FrEYEday Nights
A FrEYEday night event is held a few weeks after each camp, so that camp participants can see each other again. It also allows new people to come to EYE if they couldn’t make it to the camp. These social events will usually have some sort of environmental theme – such as a film night or a games night. These events are strictly drug and alcohol free.
Landcare Working Bees
Bellingen EYE is very excited to be working with Bellingen Urban Landcare this year in its working bees. They are held the fourth Sunday of every month, from 9:00 am to 12:00. EYE members can bring new friends, and even family – this is a great way to learn bush regeneration skills while making Bellingen a more beautiful place. Watch the calendar page for the site of the next Working Bee, as they change every month.
