Victoria is finally transitioning away from industrial clear-fell logging. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-imagine our relationship to forested landscapes.
The state government finally committed to transition away from industrial clear-felling logging of native forest in the east of Victoria on January 1, 2024.
Now is a critical moment in history. It’s time to call for the return of land to First Nations custodians & empower communities to participate in the care-taking of forests.

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