The NSW Roadside Environment Committee (REC) was established in 1994 by the NSW Government in recognition of the environmental values of linear reserves. The REC is an umbrella body of state agencies and environment groups that promotes and coordinates leading practice in linear reserve environmental management across the State.
The vision of the REC is:
"Environmental values of linear corridors are actively managed in balance with other functional needs."
The REC currently comprises thirteen organisations with interests in the environmental management of roadside and other linear reserves in NSW.
This is the 2021-22 REC Annual Report covering the REC's activities in that year.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The NSW Roadside Environment Committee
The NSW Roadside Environment Committee (REC) was established in 1994 by the NSW Government in
recognition of the environmental values of linear reserves. The REC is an umbrella body of state agencies and
environment groups that promotes and coordinates leading practice in linear reserve environmental
management across the State.
The REC currently comprises thirteen organisations with interests in the environmental management of roadside
and other linear reserves in NSW. The REC member organisations are:
- Ausgrid
- Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC)
- Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT)

- UGL Regional Linx (Country Regional Network)
The REC is funded by Transport for NSW. Member organisations provide in-kind support.
Strategic plan
To work towards its vision, the REC developed a strategic plan for 2020-2023.
The plan is provided in Appendix 1.
There are two outcomes in the strategic plan:
1. REC members understand and share good practices
2. Stakeholders aware of REC’s key initiatives
The vision of the REC is:
Environmental values of linear corridors are actively managed in
balance with other functional needs.

Achievements
In 2021-22, the REC carried out actions related to the 2020-23 Strategic Plan. These actions included:
- Supporting and promoting the outputs of the Linear Reserves Program funded by the NSW Environmental
Trust (Action 2.1 in the Strategic Plan). The Linear Reserves Program consisted of two programs:
1. Managing Travelling Stock Reserves for Sustainable Conservation Outcomes managed by LLS
($4.75 million over three years)
2. Council Roadside Reserves Project managed by LGNSW ($2.08 million over three years).
- Sponsoring the NSW Roadside Environmental Management Award as part of the 2021 Local Government
Excellence in the Environment Awards initiated by LGNSW (Action 2.6).
The Awards are open to all local councils and council organisations in NSW and aim to recognise outstanding
achievements by NSW Local Government in managing and protecting the environment.
The REC has sponsored the Roadside Environmental Management Award for the past ten years.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the awards ceremony was held virtually in November 2021. The NSW Roadside
Environmental Management Award recipient was:
Winner Division C (population of more than 70,000) and Overall Winner of the 2021 Roadside Environmental
Management Award:
Penrith City Council for its Roadside Vegetation Management Project, which was established to create
a framework for Council to better manage its roadside vegetation and to assess and identify areas within the
local government area that had been identified as having significant value in Council’s Roadside Vegetation
Management Plan. This was achieved through reviewing the Roadside Vegetation Management Plan, creat-
ing a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and Test of Significance template, implementation of procedures
to undertake REFs, employment of a dedicated REF staff member, installation of roadside markers, and the
education of Council staff.
