The Seaview Ridge Forest Operation Zone Picnic in the Otways
Picnic Without a Permit - Saturday 10th October 1998
Meet at 11am Apollo Bay foreshore (next to surf lifesaving club)
and then proceed to a picnic in the Otway native forest and a day of fun.
The picnic is to be held in defiance of new laws created by the Department
of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE). The laws make it illegal for
members of the public to freely enter state forests now deemed Forest Operations
Zones. Forest Operations Zones are located in the Otway and East Gippsland
State Forests.
The new laws require members of the public to first obtain a permit from the
DNRE Forestry Division before they enter the Forest Operations Zone. Big Brother
DNRE Forestry will now dictate who can and cannot have permit to enter state forest
and scrutinise clearfell logging operations. The public liberty to freely enter
state forest and protest against destructive clearfell logging of native forests
has been removed.
The legislation and its attack on civil liberties is the first step to privitisation
of state forests. State forest privitisation will benefit corporation such as
Kimberly Clark. Kimberly Clark encourages clearfell logging in native forests for
the manufacture of Kleenex tissue products.
Contact : The Otway Ranges Environment Network (OREN) - ph: (03) 5237 7516
Send a message to Kimberly Clark that clearfell logging native forests for profit
is unacceptable. Complain on the Kleenex Customer Enquiries Line about the new
legislation. Ring 1800 028 334
