HUON CRY

Following the eviction of Camp Florentine in Tasmania’s old growth forest two months ago (See SchNEWS 664) activists have set up a new tree sit in the Huon Valley. Huon Valley Environment Centre’s Jenny Weber said, “Forest Defenders have established a tree sit in a remote tall tree at high altitude, deep in the wilderness forest due for logging, to alert the world to the imminent logging that is set to commence. Logging is set to begin immediately in area of forest...situated adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA)”’.
