Breakthrough for our Forest - Creating The Great Forest National Park before it's too late
Sunday 14 February 12 - 1 pm The Greenhouse Birrarung
Victoria’s Montane Ash forests play host to the tallest flowering plants on earth. They are the most carbon dense and house some of Australia’s rarest animals. The catchments and rivers supply Melbourne all of its water. It is for these reasons we call them ‘great’. Laureate Professor David Lindenmayer, AO, has worked in these forests for three decades and warns that we risk losing this rich asset if we don’t act to save it.
