Blockade rescues Melbourne's water catchment

Tree sit, Victoria, December 2007

Two days after it was discovered that logging is taking place in one of Melbourne’s pristine water catchments, The Wilderness Society moves in to establish a tree platform high in the forest canopy to stop old growth logging just 2 hours drive east of Melbourne.

Catchment logging will result in the loss of millions of litres of water and the release of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

TWS is calling on the Premier to immediately to stop the logging.
