Barbara and Stan Pelczynska – my personal tribute to you joint wonderful generous passionate conservationists of Bendigo
Barbara Pelczynska, with Steven Ridd visiting from afar on a trip to family and friends in Victoria in October 2016. Both shared the deep sorrow of this so unnecessarily tragic killing of this iconic magnificent local Native elder directly across her street. This elder was healthy, perhaps 300 years old, but ignorant bureaucrats without checking just chainsawed it to death and no doubt, laughed.

Bendigo Victoria (17th October 2016): Barbara Pelczynska, with Steven Ridd visiting from afar on a trip to family and friends in Victoria. Both shared the deep sorrow of this so unnecessarily tragic killing of this iconic magnificent local Native elder directly across their street. It was healthy and must have been 300 years old.
Bless. We’ll always celebrate Barbara’s conservation commitment legacy, a beautiful tireless lady so jointly with unwavering absolute passionate and devoted with life husband Stan.
My personal tribute to you both for your joint wonderful generous passionate conservationists of Bendigo to supporting Nature and Nature Conservation and to The Habitat Advocate.
Such a wonderful an opportunity to go out one my way to personally me and my wife Sue to finally meet up with you both in your home in Bendigo.
Thank you very much. God Bless your shared passion for Nature.
