Community carbon-accounting days - April 12, 2010

With your help, we can measure the amount of carbon stored in the forests that Forestry Tasmania is planning to log, and find out the true value of Tasmania's forests. For more details on upcoming Community Carbon Accounting Days please contact the campaign centre on 03 6224 1550 or email liz.johnstone@wilderness.org.au Future community carbon-accounting days are being organised, and details will be listed here as soon as they are available.
