Tall Trees Festival 2021
Event description
For the second year running, Warburton Environment invites you to the Tall Trees Festival 2021, bringing together the voices of First Nations, leading scientists, campaigners, musicians, artists and community members.
VicForests, the state-owned logging company, is getting away with breaking its own rules. Warburton Environment is fighting VicForests in court and we need your support. We can’t rally in the streets in these Covid times, so join us in online solidarity, to protect the places we love.
All proceeds raised go directly to funding our active court case against VicForests.
