Limpinwood logging – Private Native Forestry – Hewittville Pty. Ltd.
Logging on a property of high ecological significance at Limpinwood is causing grave concerns for locals and all people who care about native wildlife, habitat for rare and threatened species, cultural heritage, and corridor connectivity to World Heritage Areas.
