End Native Forest Logging in NSW

For decades, Forestry Corporation NSW has been spending taxpayer money to log our native forests — destroying critical habitat for endangered wildlife like the koala and greater glider. Critical ecosystems are being destroyed for woodchips, firewood and tomato stakes. 

In 2025, we had a huge breakthrough as the government stopped logging within the proposed boundaries of the Great Koala National Park, saving 176,000 hectares of forest. This shows that people power works. But we cannot stop here.  

We need to turn this momentum into an end to native forest logging across the state. In the lead up to the state election, we are calling on the NSW Government to commit to ending native forest logging and transitioning to a 100% plantation-based industry that creates sustainable jobs and protects the wildlife and forests we love.  

 

We call on the NSW Government to:  

  1. Immediately stop logging in areas with high records of endangered species such as greater gliders and koalas.  
  2. Commit to no further subsidies for native forest logging.   
  3. Immediately implement mandatory 50-metre exclusion zones around all hollow-bearing trees. 
  4. Implement a transition plan that ends native forest logging and moves to 100% plantation-sourced timber and provides a transition package for workers affected by the change.
