Indigenous owners serve eviction notice

Issue 

On May 23, a group of traditional landowners of the Yuin people served an eviction notice on Forests NSW, demanding the immediate cessation of logging in the Bodalla State Forest.

Spokesperson and traditional landowner Arthur Ridgeway said: "We have taken this act to signal our protest at the cultural damage that will be created by any further logging of this area." He explained that "Gulaga is of unique cultural significance to the Yuin people and all who live around her" and argued that Forests NSW "has not properly consulted our community".
