WOOEE

Soon after the 2019-2020 climate-led fires burnt 81% of Eurobodalla, WOOEE began collecting and digitising our community’s responses.
WOOEE started life as a shop front art display for River of Art in Spring 2020, emerging as a collaborative community project by 350 Eurobodalla.
WOOEE would love to share YOUR art, photographs, stories, nature observations, art, video, writing or poetry, or blog piece responding to the climate changes you are seeing in Eurobodalla, on Yuin Country.
We’d love to get your contributions about the actions you’re taking and the local projects you’re inspired by!
The WOOEE blog is our community’s digital holding place – an online time capsule archiving and sharing our responses to Black Summer and our lived experiences of climate change.
The last date for contributions to this WOOEE blog has now been EXTENDED BEYOND 31 July 2022.
For the third spring after the fires, WOOEE will once again offer a creative contribution to Eurobodalla’s River of Art.
We all know that recovering our lives, our habitats, and working to restore the health of Country and our climate, go well beyond the scope of this project!
But we hope WOOEE offers our community some sort of inspiring collective holding space, to document our personal experiences and to speak to these historical times. As we face our biggest challenge – and a very important opportunity. TOGETHER!

What are you observing?
There may be altered natural cycles or changes you’ve spotted from the paddock or the surf check.
Or something you’ve noticed while you’re gardening, kayaking, paddling, drawing or fishing. Or maybe while you’re listening or watching birds on your deck or verandah? Or trying to get hold of particular local produce?

Changes can be sudden and dramatic like after the bushfires. Or seen over a period of years or decades, or longer… Maybe you remember the creatures you saw regularly on camping trips years ago, or are spotting early flowerings of plants?
Perhaps you’ve wondered whether the things you’re observing are linked to global heating?
Send us your contributions & we’ll help match and curate them with the latest science and local knowledge!
