The Victorian Forest Alliance brings together more than 30 groups actively protecting native forests across Victoria.

Collectively, we have decades of experience working with our local communities. Our mission is to protect and restore native forests across the state.

The forests we defend and restore are unceded lands. The name 'Victorian' Forest Alliance has been chosen to geographically locate our broad-based alliance. We acknowledge that the Victorian Forest Alliance operates on the Sovereign Lands of First Nations Peoples.

We recognise and respect that the forests which we work to protect exist on a number of different Sovereign Aboriginal Nations and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present

We are building a movement to see the permanent protection and restoration of our forests and we need your help.

VFA project to support citizen science

We work closely with citizen science groups like Wildlife of the Central Highlands (WOTCH) to conduct wildlife surveys in forests scheduled for logging. Read more about the program here.

We are ramping up our campaign to protect native forests in the lead up to the state election!

Come along to our fortnightly action meetings in Northcote to get involved!
