Action for the south-east forests

CANBERRA — Eighty people attended an art exhibition, slide show and public meeting organised by The Wilderness Society and the Friends of the Mongarlowe River here on March 2. Paintings, photography and poems inspired by the forest were displayed.

A multimedia presentation dramatised the dangers to the NSW south-east forests from the regional forest agreement being negotiated by the NSW Labor government. Speakers argued for the preservation of 15 key south-east forests, a proposal the state Labor government has refused to consider.
