Information Night – Melbourne
Saving the East Gippsland Forests

Australia remains one of the only developed countries still logging its old growth native forests. In Victoria these logging operations are carried out by the Government owned corporation VicForests. Each year thousands of hectares of old forest are clearfelled by VicForests for low value woodchips. Last financial year VicForests  incurred losses of up to $34 million dollars to carry out these environmentally disasterous practices.

YOU ARE PAYING TO HAVE YOUR PUBLIC FORESTS CLEARFELLED FOR WOODCHIPS.
Veteran Forest campaigner Charley Daniel will give a first hand account of the appalling Government mismanagement of the diminishing public forests of East Gippsland and what we can do today to preserve their many values for the future.
