Did you spot some cuddly animals in Warragul last month?  They may have been spruiking the Great Forest National Park with Vajra Papp.

The Wilderness Society is advocating for the creation of a new national park covering 355,000 hectares of native forests, including the area from Kinglake to Mount Baw Baw. If the national park proposal is accepted by the state government it will protect biodiversity, water, tourism, and the climate.
