Despite the official end of native forest logging in Victoria, our precious native forests are still under threat.

We need your help to protect these forests from new and emerging threats: unscientific prescribed burning, inadequate environmental protection laws, and logged areas left as wastelands.  

We're fighting to stop this destruction.

We are facing the new reality of far more work needing to be done to protect and restore Victoria's native forests. 

We need your support to continue our vital work to protect forests.

Our citizen science project helps protect wildlife and threatened species in forests scheduled for logging and planned burns.

 

We work closely with citizen science groups like Kinglake Friends of the Forest, Gippsland Environment Group, and Wildlife of the Central Highlands (WOTCH) to conduct wildlife surveys in forests scheduled for logging and planned burns.
