Keep up to date with our work to protect native forests

Victoria has finally ended industrial clear-fell logging. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-imagine our relationship to forested landscapes.

Victoria's high country and tall forests are iconic – but snow gum and ash forests are under threat as climate impacts escalate.

It’s time to call for the return of land to First Nations custodians & empower communities to participate in the care-taking of forests. Government must fund the active restoration of forests to help threatened species to recover & build the resilience of alpine ecosystems to climate change.

Together, we can support communities to create regenerative regional economies that leave no one behind.
