Save Big Spotty

huskissonmedia's avatar by

Don’t miss your chance to sign the hard copy petition to protect 260 hectares of forest surrounding forest giant, Big Spotty.

The hard copy petition was launched by Ward 3 lead Greens candidate, Takesa Frank on World Environment Day. It lives in Compartment 50 in North Brooman State Forest and is the largest spotted gum known at 3.8 metres across with a circumference of over 12 metres.

Ward Three encompasses Big Spotty”s forest and runs from Shallow Crossing to Sussex Inlet, including Ulladulla and many coastal villages. 

“I will be counting up the signatures in Liza Butler [State Member for the South Coast] and Michael Holland’s [Member for Bega] electorates,” Ms Frank said.

“I will meet them to discuss the need for Big Spotty’s forest to be protected from logging.

“We need to support Giant Tree tourism rather than logging as tourism is the main economic driver in this coastal community.”

The petition can be downloaded from the Brooman State Forest Conservation Group Facebook page and petitions can be sent to PO Box 521 Batemans Bay NSW 2536 by August 31 2024. Contact broomansfcg@gmail.com for a copy of the petition.
