The 2008
Forest Festival is special

Forest activists from around Tasmania and across Australia gathered in Jackeys Marsh in January 1983 and the Tasmanian forest campaign was born.

Learn more about the history of the Tasmanian Forest Campaigns over 25 years.

We would like to invite anyone who has taken an active role in past forest festivals to come back an celebrate with us in 2008.

Bring your photos for our photographic exhibition and your stories for a story telling workshop from past festivals and related events.

All profits from the festival will go towards raising awareness of the ecological significance and the protection of the forests of Jackeys Marsh and the Great Western Tiers.
