Today, only 7% of our High Country & Alpine Snow Gums remain untouched from fire and longicorn beetle infestation.

With warming temperatures driving parasitic beetle booms & more frequent and intense bushfires weakening tree defenses... A recipe for disaster is silently spilling over our Alpine and high country ecosystems.

One that threatens the future visibility, of ancient Snowgums across our favourite mountain ranges.

You Can Help us fight, to conserve and continue the story of this iconic species and better support the life that surrounds it.

Donate to the Forest collective before June 30th and you will be directly assisting us to get Snow Gum 'Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. Niphophila' federally protected under the EPBC act.

This will help to put a spotlight on Snow gums and prompt a rethink into the ways we move forward to conserve E. Subsp. Niphophila's populations. Promoting further research for the potential for future community level nominations.

Every donation above $2 is tax deductible and supports our grassroots efforts to create change for good.

Double your impact by sharing this with a friend

or get involved directly in the campaign.

We hold collective meetings on the second Friday of every month. More info on our website 🔗 link in bio

Help us raise $100,000 this state election year to generate long-lasting climate action for Snow gum ecosystems.

This past year, we successfully convened our second Snow Gum Summit in Jindabyne. We hosted walks on Country, connecting communities directly to alpine landscapes while working alongside scientists, Traditional owners and locals. Organising community gatherings, workshops, and events to build real momentum for climate action in a time where the crises facing Snow gum ecosystems needs real solutions. That is why we have begun the process to get stronger EPBC level protections for Snow gums, and we need your support to make it happen.

Your donation will help us grow our national organising and advocacy efforts, support our future summits and help us to envision bigger and bolder events for our community to take part in. Donate to the FOE Forest Collective today. Every donation over $2 is tax deductible.

Big tech corporations are trying to force massive data centres onto communities across the country.

Data centres use massive amounts of energy and water, drive up power prices and create noise and air pollution for local communities. Big companies are also using AI to sack workers and degrade their work.

Join this event organised by 350.org Australia next Wed 17 June for a conversation about how communities and workers are fighting back against the disastrous data centre boom to make sure our voices are heard. Link in the comments. Doors open at 5:45pm.
