Join Victorian film maker Lewi Haskins and Nic Fox from the Warburton Environment for a screening and discussion of this powerful short film, Forest Country.

By 2024 the Victorian government had announced the end of native forest logging, only for it to continue in more insidious forms. Forest Country shows the current situation in our state forests where, in fact, massive old trees with hollows are being cut down and habitat removed. Shot over the course of a year alongside activists, conservationists, and ecologists, the film bears witness to the ongoing destruction of native ecosystems, the death of endangered wildlife, and the growing risks to community safety.

Community Climate Cafe is a friendly venue where people can chat with others in the community over a meal before hearing from experts in subjects that relate to the environment, ecosystems or climate matters. The only cost is for the meal or snack purchased from the restaurant.

Come for a meal at 6:00 pm, or for the talk and discussion - arrive at 7:15pm for talk at 7:30 pm
