The Wilderness Society, in collaboration with the Central Highlands Action Group, presents Forest Fundraiser.
Held at Bar Open, 317 Brunswick Street Fitzroy, on Sunday November 10th and featuring local bands Magic Bones, Winternationale and Art & Craft, The Wilderness Society hopes to raise funds and awareness for the protection of our native forests.
Covering the northwest fringes of Victoria’s Central Highlands, Toolangi State Forest represents the last refuge of the Fairy Leadbeater’s Possum. The faunal emblem of Victoria, these tiny possums nest in the giant Mountain Ash trees. However, they are finding themselves homeless and on the brink of extinction due to logging and the commercial exploitation of Victorian forests. These are the last remaining pockets of unburnt forest in the Central Highlands after the Black Saturday fires, yet, despite this they are still relentlessly felled on a daily basis, instantly destroying complex ecosystems created over thousands of years.
