Mum's Trust betrayed
4 Dec 2009 North Shore Times
LYNETTE Lee inherited her fighting spirit from her mother.
The late Annie Forsyth Wyatt was the founder of the National Trust of Australia, starting the group from her Gordon home in 1945. ?I was her only daughter and we were very close all of our lives,? Mrs Lee, of Pymble, said.
Now 90, she said her mother would be devastated to see the ruthless destruction of areas in Ku-ring-gai at the hands of politicians and developers.
Mrs Wyatt, who was born in 1885 and died in 1961 at her St Ives home, had worked tirelessly and voluntarily to save all that was beautiful on the North Shore, including the bushland and beautiful old homes with their spacious gardens.
?I?ve been living in Ku-ring-gai for 85 years and I remember how different it used to be,? Mrs Lee said. ?The Pacific Highway was known as Gordon Rd and it was all dirt.
?I was seven and we were living in Park Ave, Gordon, which is where my mother started the Trust and my father Ivor supported her in every way. She was a remarkable woman because she was very Victorian in some ways and beyond her time in others.
?It broke her heart when they pulled down Burdekin House in Macquarie St and built St Stephen?s Uniting Church - she was Presbyterian and never forgave them.?
Her only brother, also named Ivor, was trust president from 1969 to 1973.
Mrs Wyatt also set up the Ku-ring-gai Tree Lovers? Civic League in 1927, becoming an active advocate of conservation in 1927 when both her children were small.
But Mrs Lee inherited more than her passion for saving the environment from her mother.
They both loved art as well. Mrs Lee has had four paintings in the Archibald Prize and is still painting miniatures while her mother did a lot of porcelain painting.
Known to her children as Mater, Mrs Wyatt was considered odd - a housewife who struggled to awaken public interest in conservation.
She skilfully combined her work with her marriage, and endured her husband?s camping holidays, concealing her lack of enthusiasm.
Of medium plump build, with golden hair, blue eyes, and a serious demeanour, she had vision and determination.
?I can?t remember when I wasn?t drawing or painting and mum was always artistic,? Mrs Lee said. ?But painting wasn?t as important to her as the Trust.
?She brought us up to be interested in saving the environment and we are all life members of the Trust. It?s making me sad that it appears to be all for nothing - she fought to keep Ku-ring-gai safe but so much damage has already been done. The State Government is still in power but I don?t think Labor will last past the next election - they are bringing in thousands of people to our local area but there is not enough infrastructure to support them.
?Magnificent homes surrounded by gardens and trees have been destroyed to make way for monstrous, high-rise units.?
But the Tree League did amazing work in its time. Gathering together a small group of mainly women, they protested against activities destroying natural areas.
Balls Head Reserve was retained as a reforested public area in 1931 and bushland at Palm Beach was retained with their help.
In the 1930s, Mrs Wyatt helped to preserve a small area of Sydney?s remaining blue gum and blackbutt forests in St Ives
and even Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park was saved from having an oil refinery built at the edge of the waterway.
