** Save the Weld Valley - Take Action Now
The Lower Weld Valley is currently unprotected after a logging moratorium ended when the Regional Forest Agreement was signed in 1997. It borders the Tasmanian South West World Heritage Area, and it has been recommended for protection by a number of Australian and International bodies, but the Tasmanian Government continues to clearfell and woodchip the Weld. There is a State Election coming up in Tasmania this year, and the Weld Valley is likely to become a big issue in the lead up. For further information and updates, see http://www.huon.org/weldvalley.
