The Central Coast and Macquarie Lakes are home to bushland areas that are rich in biodiversity and natural beauty.

The Community Environment Network works to conserve our natural bushland areas and ensure that it is not lost amid the ever expanding urban development. Indeed, CEN believes we can have both - sustainable urban and social development that does not compromise the bush that makes our region so special.

Some of the projects that CEN are involved in to protect our bushland are:  Land for Wildlife, and Wildplant Rescue .
