The  Barwon Heads Community Hall was filled to capacity on January 7,  as Jane's Journey was screened for the very first time in Australia.

Preceding the film was a performance by a Roots & Shoots group who wrote and performed their song,Change the View.

We are planning to hold a national film night on World Peace Day, whereby Roots & Shoots groups all around Australia can host their own Jane's Journey event. More details about that later in the year.

Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary is once again proud to be a part of Planet Ark's National Tree Day and is calling on Mitchell Shire residents to get involved on Sunday, 31 July 2011.

“We are encouraging residents to make a positive difference and become a part of Australia's biggest community tree planting and nature care event” said Edgar's Mission founder and tree day co-ordinator, Pam Ahern. “It’s easy, fun and a small investment of time for great environmental and community benefits.”
