A huge moment for the campaign.
The Country Womenβs Association (CWA) has officially endorsed the proposed Richmond River Koala Parks, with a motion from the Nimbin branch passed at the recent NSW State Conference.
The motion calls for the establishment of the Richmond River Koala Parks reserve across State Public Native Forests in the Richmond Valley and southern Richmond Range, to provide safe haven for vulnerable and endangered native flora and fauna so their populations can recover and thrive.
This endorsement matters.
The CWA is one of NSW's most respected regional organisations, with deep roots in rural communities. Their support sends a powerful message: protecting these forests is not a fringe issue β it is a community priority.
And this comes at a critical time.
Right now, the NSW Government is considering extending Wood Supply Agreements that could lock in native forest logging for another 10 years, potentially until 2038. Decisions are being made now that will shape the future of these forests, our koalas, our wildlife and our catchments for generations.
To keep that momentum going, the most important thing you can do right now is contact your local member and make your support for the Richmond River Koala Parks clear.
