In court recently, the barrister for VicForests suggested the interim injunctions we were seeking in 16 coupes could be the straw that broke the camel's back.
Their Timber Release Plan has over 40 pages like this. So, over 2000 coupes. Heart breaking.
Premier Andrews must step in and stop the logging in fire-affected areas and protect critical unburnt forests across Victoria. A rapid transition out of native forest logging is urgently needed, send the Premier an email here https://t.co/xGK8gComZ0 @eastgippyforest#bushfires
Thanks to our recent Federal Court for @LeadbeatersPoss and years of campaigning by FoLP and many other groups including @Wilderness_Aus, Bunnings will stop selling timber logged by VicForests. #Forests#SpringSt https://t.co/IWxGO1tcCz
Sometimes when you connect with nature, you end up having to connect with heavy machinery. Thank you to the brave tree-sitters who have stopped native forest logging in Cambarville and Noojee this week.
BREAKING: logging has been halted in "Blue Streak" coupe in Baw Baw as well. That makes three this morning. No logging on #AboriginalLand in a #ClimateEmergency in threatened species habitat!
No logging at Big Pat's Creek today as community walk in. Logging halted in Toolangi & trucks turned away. The message loud and clear at Parliament too.
Protest will continue to "spike" as long as logging continues on #Aboriginal land without consent in a #climateemergency.
Today the Federal Court has ordered an immediate halt to plans to clear 20 ha of land on NSW's south coast after locals @Manyana_Matters represented by @EDOLawyers successfully secured an undertaking from the developer, Ozy Homes. #manyanamatters

@LeadbeatersPoss Thank you & @EJ_Aus for all your hard work to save these coupes. The courts heard the evidence & saw that #nativelogging is unsustainable & stepped in where @DanielAndrewsMP & @VictorianLabor have failed to act. Time to bring this entire practice to an end!
BREAKING NEWS: VicForests negate science!
“The agency's CEO has levelled extraordinary criticism at internationally-regarded Australian ecologist Professor David Lindenmayer, saying the agency "does not accept his published opinions". @DanielAndrewsMP https://t.co/dcTvh6tUJW
Gov logging agency VicForests completely ignores extensive scientific evidence salvage logging will have catastrophic impacts on fire-affected forests. Read more on @DanielAndrewsMP gov's plan to log thousands of hectares of recovering forests here; https://t.co/KrKPBnykMX
Keeping the chainsaws out of our magnificent native #forests won't just have enormous benefits for forests, wildlife and biodiversity. Ending native forest logging in Victoria immediately would save taxpayers nearly $200 million #springst https://t.co/Prrw2VkK1G
Logging cannot be justified for so many reasons. @DanielAndrewsMP@LilyDAmbrosioMP if water, wildlife, community health, fire risk, social licence and climate change don't count for you, how about not wasting our money? #springst https://t.co/sRnN00CGeD
Whilst Victoria locks down for the serious respiratory #COVID19 virus pandemic, the state government lit up one of these industrial logging burns today in the #toolangi#forest @EPA_Victoria
