Thousands of people across NSW and the rest of Australia have written to the NSW government over the past month, demanding it take action to protect the River Red Gum Forests of the Murray region. Now, two new reports show that the logging is both uneconomic and in some areas, illegal.
The winners of the Red Gum Kids Colouring competition have been announced. We'd like to thank all the schools who participated in this event, and particularly the thousands of kids who went to such a fantastic effort to draw attention to the plight of the River Red Gums. Find out who'll be receiving a fantastic prize pack.
NSW Minister for the Environment, Verity Firth, spoke today with NSW Campaign Manager, Timothy King, at a land clearing protest organised by the Sydney Campaign Centre.
