Just 60km from the centre of Melbourne, the Toolangi State Forest plays a vital role in regulating our water supply, providing storage of carbon and mitigating bushfire intensity.

In this special session, a panel of passionate experts and activists share their concerns and invite solutions for the disaster that’s brewing in your local native forests.
