Walk Talk and Gawk – Wombat Forest

Join Wombat Forestcare and VNPA to hear about loophole logging damage to the recently declared national park area of the Wombat.

We’ll first visit a site heavily impacted by recent logging activities, then move to prime habitat nearby to show what’s been lost on the logged site. At this second site we’ll see high-quality habitat, even perhaps spot a Powerful Owl, and hear about the Greater Gliders there. This proposed activity presents a great opportunity to learn first-hand about the ongoing issue of logging damage in the Wombat State Forest. We’ll cover about 2-5km total across all sites, with the option of a short walk at the second site.

We encourage car-pooling where possible – there will be a limit of 8 cars at the forest sites, so carpooling will need to be sorted at the meet up site. The plan is to meet up at Trentham at 10.30am, and drive to 2 locations from there.
