Pine Creek forest habitat is precious and home many native species, including the endangered koala. Thank you to B.A.N. for standing up to help protect Pine Creek from logging.
All are welcome to visit camp, it’s a lovely vibe with committed people who care for the forest, and see for yourself how precious this habitat is.
If you want more information on how to get involved with the action for Pine Creek, follow Bellingen Activist Network or visit camp.
Once again the community has risen up to defend sacred and biodiverse forests across Gumbaynggirr lands – this time in Pine Creek SF, just 20 minutes from Bellingen.
After last year’s valiant dedication from First Nations and allies of the community to protect Newry SF, B.A.N, with the support of Friends of Pine Creek have established a new blockade located at the intersection of the state forest and Bongil Bongil National Park.
We believe in the power of non-violent direct action and collective power of community as the last line of defence against ongoing colonial destruction, and that forests are worth protecting from the corporate greed of Forestry Corporation NSW.
We’re asking you to join us again on the frontlines!
We are defending the proposed ‘Forest Bridge’ – the only piece of forest connecting Bongil Bongil on the coast to the Bindarri Koalas in the hinterlands.
This narrow corridor connects two areas of “intergenerational significance” for the dungirr (koala) and will ensure their resilience to avoid extinction by 2050.
The Forest Bridge is also vital for protecting many other threatened species who survived the Black Summer Bushfires, including squirrel glider, brush-tailed phascogale, Tiger quoll and yellow-bellied glider.
This key piece of ecological information again has been overlooked by Forestry Corporation NSW who plan to imminently clear-fell the area.
Friends of Pine Creek have been campaigning to protect the area for over 30 years. Follow them for ecological updates and education on the importance of Pine Creek for the whole region.
Let’s send a strong message to NSW Forestry Corporation and the NSW Government that our community is still here, and that we will blockade as necessary. We will put our bodies in the way to protect native forests!
This is Gumbaynggirr land! Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun!
