SAVE OUR JARRAH

The environment and values of the Heritage Listed town of Jarrahdale face a number of threats from forest logging, forest thinning in the Wungong catchment, the return of bauxite mining and the prolonged closure of Gooralong.

The forests of the 21st century will be valued most significantly for their natural beauty, biodiversity, flora and fauna habitat, passive recreation, bush walks, tracks and trails, clean water, as well as for their aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits.

As Perth city grows the benefits of our forests will become far more important than the economic value put on the timber it produces.

The most immediate threat is to stop logging by the Forest Products Commission (FPC) of Mundlimup.
