So currently logging is permitted in areas where trees have been the bushfires, this copied post just shows what is possible with love of a tree being given a second chance

Thank you all so much for the love, kindness & support during this very difficult time 🙏 Remember our huge gum tree that completely blew over in November? We used a crane, stood it back up and IT’S ALIVE!!! 😍The simplest things in life are so special❤️ Birds and possums are loving it!

People are fighting the good fights

Now the time has come. After over a year filled with citizen science, legal preparation, and determination, Warburton Environment’s 'Hollow’s Case' final hearing (trial) will be heard in the Federal Court starting Monday 1 September. PLEASE JOIN US!

We are challenging the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) over its widespread destruction of hollow-bearing and recruitment trees in the Central Highlands. These trees, many centuries old, provide nesting and shelter sites for the critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum and the endangered Southern Greater Glider.

🌿 Represented in the proceedings by Senior Counsel Jonathon Korman, WE are arguing that the strategic fuel break renewal program breaches the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) by:
Destroying critical habitat for wildlife;
Threatening the survival of nationally listed species;
Interfering with any future recovery of the Leadbeater’s Possum and Southern Greater Glider.
⚖️ What’s happening in Court:

Day One (Mon 1 Sept) will feature opening submissions and objections to evidence. This session offers the clearest overview of the case and is the most powerful day to show community support. We will also then have a better understanding about when key witnesses will be giving evidence ( we will send another update after Monday's hearing).

The hearing is expected to run for seven days. If you can’t make it on the first day, please consider attending another.

📍 Join us in person:

Meet at 9:30 am (to allow time for security screening) Monday 1st September (and all other days)

Outside Le Will CafĂŠ, 305 William St, Melbourne (directly above Flagstaff Train Station)

Hearings run 10:15 am – 1:00 pm and 2:15 pm – 4:15 pm daily for 7 days

💻 Join online: Justice Horan's Associate has confirmed that a livestream has been arranged and will be available via the Federal Court’s YouTube channel.

💚 How else you can help:

This case is a huge undertaking for a small volunteer community group. We still need to raise around $3,000 to cover trial costs. If you can, please consider donating to our Chuffed campaign

With so much gratitude 🙏
