The Sydney Morning Herald’s Adam Carey covered legal action against VicForests on 8 March 2018
Victoria’s state-owned forestry corporation has been charged with illegal logging of a rainforest in East Gippsland after a near two-year investigation.
The Andrews government’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning is pursuing VicForests over alleged destruction of a protected section of native forest near Cann River in the state’s far east.
VicForests will defend the charges in court next month.
VicForests is alleged to have illegally logged within a rainforest buffer zone.
