Stop aerial spraying of state forests now - starting in Bellinger River Valley

The issue

The people of Bellingen Shire are deeply concerned about a proposal to undertake aerial spraying of State Forests in the Bellinger Valley in NSW. They see this practice as a threat to the health of local waterways, fragile eco-systems and people's health. The Bellinger Valley is an important refuge for wildlife. We call on the NSW Government to STOP aerial spraying NOW and declare Bellinger Valley forests a Koala Sanctuary.
