Great Forest National Park
Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) and Tree Ferns towering into the mist.
Yarra Ranges, Victoria.
It really angers me to know that people are pushing so hard to bulldoze massive areas of this beautiful Mountain Ash forest and burn it to the ground. These areas (the proposed Great Forest National Park, near Toolangi) are also home to the Critically Endangered Leadbeater's Possum, which is suffering greatly from the wasteful acts of logging old growth forests. Luckily, there are teams of dedicated field surveyors who search for Leddy's, and other threatened flora and fauna, within these logging coupes. If a Possum is located it can save a small section of forest around where it was sighted...however these 'safe zones' are nothing when the swift little fur-balls can move well over 200 meters a night.
