Perth- Jarrah Forest Campaign Night

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 06:00 PM · 23 rsvps
City West Lotteries House in Perth, Australia

*Due to unforseen circumstances, this event has been moved to Wednesday 12th March. We apologise for any inconvenience and hope you're still able to join us!* 

 

WA's Northern Jarrah Forests are some of the most beautiful, diverse and vulnerable forests on Earth. 

But right now, bauxite mining companies, Alcoa and South32 are seeking huge expansions which could give way to the disturbance of over 100,000 hectares of forest and decades of destruction all the way until 2075.    

Fortunately we have a plan, but we need your help to ensure decision makers are hearing loud and clear that our communities want an end to forest mining now! 

Join us to hear how you can take action against forest mining, get involved, and together we can ensure the jarrah forests are protected for generations to come.   

Food and drink provided, just bring yourselves! 🍕🍻

Free the Forests- World Record Yoga Tree Pose & Concert

Saturday, March 22, 2025 at 10:00 AM · 71 rsvps
Stirk Park, Kalamunda in Kalamunda, Australia

Join us as we attempt a World record to get the most people simultaneously doing a yoga tree pose to end deforestation!

We'll also have live entertainment from some local musos, food trucks, and stalls galore where you can find out more about protecting WA's nature, including the world's most biodiverse forest- the Northern Jarrah Forest (NJF).  

By 2030 we want to see laws in place in Australia that will Free the Forests from logging, mining, thinning and burning to stop extinctions, act on climate, and provide clean water unimpeded.

Forests are crucial to stave off climate change, encourage rainfall and provide homes for endangered wildlife. Bauxite mining in the NJF is amongst the biggest polluters and the biggest deforestors, exacerbating climate change by ruining forests both by clearing, taking away billions of litres from their rivers and aquifers and putting drinking water at risk. 

Join us to ensure forests, climate, water, and wildlife are protected for future generations to come.
