Standing among the tall trees of Victoria’s magnificent forests, it’s easy to feel awe.

Part of the life-giving Great Dividing Range, these forests are the lungs of our land. They catch and filter cool, clean water for our homes and cities. They’re a refuge for our threatened wildlife and a playground for our communities.

But these forests – and wildlife like the critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possums who depend on them – are being destroyed by logging. 

Send an email to Premier Daniel Andrews today calling for the creation of the Great Forest National Park, which will connect and protect 355,000 hectares of tall mountain ash forests in the Central Highlands of Victoria.

This new park will help save the critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum, decrease the intensity of devastating bushfires and give everyone a wonderful natural playground just an hour from the city.
