ABOUT
Join us on a day trip to visit Victoria's Central Highlands and walk the forests which the Wilderness Society and so many others are dedicated to protecting.
Come along and learn about the Wilderness Society's Victorian forests campaigns, and the threats that must still be overcome to bring an end to native forest destruction.
We will be hiring a coach for the day, places are limited so be sure to email to secure your spot!*
If you are keen to experience this stunning and unique ecosystem, connect with likeminded people and walk the old coupes which we fight so hard to stop - then please join us!
