The government confirmed they are dropping the plans to log these native forests. Your pressure forced them to back down and protect these areas after the fires. Stay alert because we will keep monitoring their operations to ensure the forests remain untouched.

Final supporters
As a result of the devastating Black Saturday fires VicForests plans to amend Timber Release Plans to meet their "...current sales commitments, and contractual harvest and haulage obligations" and log more forest. Their proposed TRP's include "242 new native forest coupes* and roadlines" with a further amendment to "56 coupes and roadlines" currently on TRP's (VicForests, website 2010).
See link attached VicForests link for further information including maps and schedule of coupes.
*Area of forest of variable size, shape and orientation from which logs for sawmilling or other industrial processing are harvested (DSE, website 2010)
Public consultation is now in full swing until April 8th make your voice heard and sign this petition and/or send a personal email to: [email protected]
We the undersigned,
oppose the amendments to the Timber Release Plans (TRP's), which include coupes that will destroy Victoria's unprotected old growth forests. We value being heard on this matter and hope you will take our concerns into consideration.

VicForests is moving ahead with these plans while our forests are still recovering from the fires. Email [email protected] right now to tell them these coupes must be removed from the harvest schedule. Send this link to three people who live in the area so they know what is happening in our backyard.

The momentum behind this push is real and it shows that people are paying attention to what happens to our forests. Email your local representative today to demand they stop these logging plans before the damage is permanent.

Stop destroying our habitat. We need these trees for the future.
Heartbreaking. Those places are meant to be wild and protected not just a source of profit for vicforests.
greedy. thats all this is. just pure greed.
This whole plan is a joke. Cant believe they think they can get away with this right after the fires.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Enough is enough. How can they justify logging after what we just went through?

The forests are already struggling enough as it is. Leave them alone to recover instead of making it worse.
