"By the end of this year, native forest logging will cease in Victoria. Now
begins a long and difficult process to recover vast areas of forest after more
than 50 years of clearfelling and other destructive logging practices.

The supply of sawlogs in Victoria was close to being exhausted, and the state’s
logging industry had long been financially unviable. Restoring the forest
offers the opportunity to put something better in its place.

For many years, we’ve thought deeply about the problem of these degraded
forests and the restoration needed. It’s a huge job, but it can be done. Here,
we outline what’s needed."
