The south-west corner of Western Australia is home to a relatively small but totally unique tall forest heritage. The world’s only jarrah, karri, tingle, wandoo, blackbutt and tuart forests grow here. Much of the original forest has been cleared since European occupation and much of what remains has already been, and continues to be, subjected to clearfell logging, mining, frequent burning and other degradation. WAFA is determined to ensure that the ecological, social and cultural integrity of the forests that remain is protected. We seek your help in achieving this goal.
