SUMMARY:Walk to the Little Dargo
DESCRIPTION:The fires of 2019/20 burnt huge areas of north eastern Victoria. The remaining unburnt forests are more important than ever. One of these areas lies in the headwaters of the Little Dargo River\, just south of Mt Hotham. It is a pristine area\, without roads\, and containing mature forest\, much of it dominated by Mountain Gums and Alpine Ash. It is an area of state forest that lies right next to the Alpine National Park. \nThe state government logging agency\, VicForests\, intends to log a total of 11 “coupes”\, or sections\, of mature forest in the upper Little Dargo River. These coupes are located in a series of clusters\, where separate sections of bush will be harvested\, creating a large zone of cleared land over time. Extensive roading networks will be needed to access the coupes. \nThere is a growing community campaign to oppose this destruction. In 2022 and 2023\, Friends of the Earth\, in conjunction with the Treasure family\, who have grazed cattle on the Dargo High Plains for generations\, have hosted a number of walks to show people the headwaters of the catchment and surrounding area. Over the cup weekend (November 4 – 7) we will be hosting another free guided walk. \nThe exact start point will be sent to those who rsvp. It is about a 40 min drive south of Mt Hotham.\nmelbournefoe.org.au/walk_to_the_little_dargo
