The Dial Range is under threat – 45 hectares are scheduled to be logged.
The Dial Range is a biodiversity hotspot, home to iconic threatened Tasmanian animals and rare flora. The Range sports easily accessible walking tracks for locals and visitors, the area also offers extensive mountain biking and hiking trails for people of all abilities, allowing important recreational opportunities right on the coasts’ doorstep.
Clearfelling is a devastating attack on nature – all trees, big and small, old and young, will be uprooted and destroyed. Homes for wildlife will disappear. Clearfelling 45 hectares of these forests will cause untold harm to this critical green corridor, home to iconic Tasmanian threatened species like the Masked Owl, Tassie Devils and Wedge-tailed Eagles. Destroying an area of high natural value that is of economic and recreational importance to locals is unacceptable.
This healthy Tasmania Devil was photographed in the coupe in June 2024.

Whilst amongst the forest you will hear from multiple speakers on the threats at play, the importance of protection for forests, community rights in environmental decision making and the communities future visions for the Dial Range. Alongside them amongst the trees, will be local musicians and poets sharing their art forms.
