Save Our Strathbogie Forest has launched a legal challenge against the State of Victoria to halt several planned burns in the Strathbogie Forest. We desperately need your financial help to fund the legal costs of the court case.

As importantly, share this request with friends, family and networks to spread the word.
If the case is successful, it might reduce or stop planned burns in areas critical to the survival of endangered species like the Greater Glider, not just in the Strathbogies, but likely across Victoria and Australia.
It is well known that the Strathbogie Forest in north-east Victoria is a stronghold for the endangered Greater Glider. It’s also well established that countless thousands of big, old, hollow-bearing trees, essential for Greater Glider survival, are burnt every year in the name of fire management. Planned burning is about repetition, so after each burn there are fewer hollow-bearing trees left, fewer places for the Gliders to live and breed.
So the question is pretty simple, do we choose this …
… or this?
