We're an alliance of grassroots groups fighting for the protection and restoration of Victoria's native forests, and we need your help
We receive no government funding, and are fully supported by generous supporters who believe in our work.
Native forest logging 'officially' ended in Victoria on January 1, 2024. This is a monumental win, but our work is far from over.
There are now significant emerging threats to Victoria's native forests: unscientific planned burns, inadequate environmental protection laws, and logged areas being left as wastelands.
We now need to strengthen the Alliance to see through a full transition out of native forest logging, an end destructive “fire management” practices and so-called "salvage logging", and begin the long campaign to regenerate forests that have been terribly impacted by logging for so long.
Our work will continue to be critical to ensure the best outcomes and protection for forests, First Nations sovereignty and transitioning communities.
Please give now to support our ongoing campaign to protect and restore Victoria's native forests.
